Who do you feel is the most underrated NHL player?
Based οn fact, opinion οr anything еlѕе I аm interested tο see whο NHL fans judge іѕ thе mοѕt underrated player іn thе NHL аt thіѕ time. Mу vote goes tο Tom Preissing οf thе San Jose Sharks, hе led thе teams Defensman іn points аnd аnd іѕ a very solid performer, playing οf thе top line аnd οn power play. Hе сеrtаіnlу dοеѕ nοt recieve аѕ much recognition аѕ hе ѕhουld.

Very excellent question…Afinogenov with Buffalo isn’t in the spotlight much. Ryan Smyth with the Oilers would be another decent choice I would reckon.
An underrated player I reckon is someone whose value isn’t just with point production. They’re a hard worker, and consistent. I dunno…but excellent question
Well, depends who’s playing well and when.
But after wathing the Sharks-Oilers series, it’s clearly Shawn Horcoff. He’s an all-round threat. Plays defence, wins face-offs, kills penalties and scores clutch goals. I like Horcoff and I don’t reckon he gets the respect he deserves.
Top ten underrated players IMHO:
1. Shawn Horcoff (Oilers)
2. Daniel Briere (Sabres)
3. Samuel Pahlssen (Ducks)
4. Jason Smith (Oilers)
5. Mike Fisher (Senators)
6. Derek Roy (Sabres)
7. Scott Hannan (Sharks)
8. Andrei Markov (Canadiens)
9. Olaf Sapryken (Predators, I reckon?) (former Flame anyway)
10. Fernando Pisani (Oilers)
There’s probably lots of others too, but I want these guys on my team…
I liked bendermarkus’ list. Even even if I’m an Oilers fan I have to add Patrick Marleau. He gets some attention but not nearly enough. He’s a very classy player and has a ton of skill. I’d like him on my team.
there’s one player that has retired…he become renowned in his late years but previous to that he was really underrated and he is Ron Francis…
players currently playing…”Kyle Calder”
Um, just about anyone on the Sabres. The “experts” said the Sabres were vacant to be terrible this year, but I guess they’ve proved them incorrect. Yes, Roy and Briere are underrated, but how about Henrik Tallinder and Toni Lydman (both defensemen) being +13 so far in the playoffs?? That should speak for itself!
Go Sabres!!!!
My vote would have to be for Ryan Miller. He was overlooked for the USA hockey team and nobody probable him to do anything in the playoffs.
