Some are paid appropriately. But for each forward if they played somewhere else they would be talked about like the hottest commodity there is.
Lafferty I have just because I wish the leafs never traded him.
For defence, little harder, but Slavin is incredible. And yet has never won the Norris. Carlo is also incredible but gets overshadowed by McAvoy. Brodin is so consistent.
Goalies… Talbot is such an interesting career. And Reimer, I have hated on him so much, but again, what an interesting career.
Would add kuzmenko Novak and maybe draisaitl just because the oilers are really bad and people think he isn’t the 2nd best player when he clearly is but I’m also a little biased cause I’m an oilers fan

How the f*** can with a straight face you say Draisatl and underrated in the same sentence without the word not in between ? Draisatl underrated is one of the ten most delusional statements I've heard in at least a decade.

He is clearly the 2nd best player in the world though and people are saying he isn’t cause the oilers are having a bad season so far but based off the last 5 seasons he’s 100% been the 2nd best but will say otherwise that’s why I think he’s underrated and I can go for days and tell you why I think that way if you like

Hmm. Guys who have actually won such as Kucherov, MacKinnon, and Makar may say otherwise. Then there’s players like McAvoy Slavin and Pastrnak. Then the leaders in Crosby Stamkos and Kopitar…. I don’t know. Drai may put up points but seems to be about it.

Consider actually watching how he plays and the way he’s able to complement McDavid game like no other just remember he’s one of the best playoff performers the nhl has ever seen and is able to convert his regular season play into the playoffs and can do it while he’s injured. This is a guy that won MVP with mcdavid on his team and would have won anyway if McDavid didn’t get injured I’m sure u already know that but he also won the Art Ross that year and how many pass first 50 goal scorers can you name I’m sure not many first player since 1995 when Mario Lemieux did it to put up 55G 55A in 2021-2022 season but nobody knew that

Im taking Mack over drai, mack is more dynamic and scares me way more with the puck on his stick then drai does.
Drai is Great no doubt about it but there is about 8 other forwards that would produce at a 110+ point rate if they played majority of the their ice time with mcdavid.
Pastrnak and matthews would consistently score 60+ if mcdavid was setting them up.
Mack/ rantanen/ kuch/ kaprizov would all be putting up stupid numbers with mcdavid.
I won’t take credit where it’s due from drai but to say that any one of the other top 10 forwards in the league couldn’t replicate his production next to mcdavid is silly.

I grant top 5 and really no one argues that. So, how on earth does that make him MASSIVELY underrated?
