[Eyeseeing]

I’ll take Josh Morrissey as most underrated D man ahead of Fox

hard to argue tho...they are the regular season champions ya heard

 

[Dead Coyote]

I don't think a player can be underrated when they're in perennial Norris contention. Like dude's been top 5 in Norris voting since his rookie season but he's underrated? Are we supposed to be rating him as like, the next Bobby Orr or something?

Counterpoint:

Miro Heiskanen

Hmmm . . .

I have Fox and Heiskanen in my hockey pool this year.

I'm thinking of dumping Heiskanen (0 points), but not Fox (6 points).

To me, Heiskanen looks like a "zero-points", not a "counterpoint" today.

Cool, I was talking about hockey, not fantasy

 

[archangel2]

no he is not. I could go on a rant here about this kind of threads but Fox is considered one of the top 10 d men in the league right now. FUll package.

These threads are starting to annoy me. Superstar X is underrated...

 

[avsfan9]

Had a good game hey

 

[PaulD]

Most underrated ?

He's rated as a Norris trophy winner .

I mean I'd argue he's top 5 at worse but "top whatever" lists usually tend to go with whoever had the hottest year recently or made a jump that got them noticed

I don't think there's realistically any daylight between Fox and anyone else in the league in a "top defenseman" list but it ultimately is just going to come down to what players an individual likes the most

e: him having to play on one knee for most of the playoffs probably didn't help how people view him to start this season

 

[Regal]

I think he’s probably underrated defensively by some but in general it’s hard to say he’s the most underrated when at worst he’s somewhere in the top 10 on most lists. I do think he’s maybe not talked about outside of top defensemen lists as much as some other stars like Hughes and Makar, which is strange considering he’s in NY.

Yankee arrogance with Mets success

 

[SUX2BU]

Underrated?

 

[Smash]

I mean he only had nine first place votes (and had less than 10% more of the vote percentage) as is so I dont think so.



Makar missed 22 games in 2023, he wins the Norris handily had he played another 15 or so games.

Part of being the best / one of the best is staying healthy. Such a dumb argument.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

What a weird thread. OP is mad that some people rank him 5 or 6 (still elite) vs. 2 or 3? Strange

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

My vote for most underrated defenseman is Mackenzie Weegar.
