August Question 4: The Most OVERrated Players

Pretty simple, the most overrated players in the league and why.

Ovechkin, worse team player in big games.

Luongo

Agreed.

Marc-Andre Fleury

kovalchuk, but only tof the fact that he's not worth 10 million a season. i think he should be happy with 7. especially that he's been a no-show in playoffs history.

I tird (third) that one.

Yep, Fleury would have to win this one.

Definitely not. That was perhaps the case while he was still playing for the Senators, but that stopped after a few games into his NYR career when the rest of the league realized Sens fans weren't being melodramatic about him.

I would have to say Jonathan Toews. I love the guy and he was great in the Olympics and the playoffs, but after the Cup/Conn Smythe there was a camp that was putting him on or above Crosby's level. This is a guy who still has yet to break the 70 point barrier despite having some remarkable talent around him (Kane, Hossa, Havlat, Sharp, etc.).

He's still an awesome player, although I think Backstrom has thus far been the best player out of the 2006 draft.

Side note, but I won't/haven't been around most of August. See you in September.

Have to agree about Redden. He's overpaid, for sure, but he is about to be bought out, so his rating is a bout tight.

I'm sure there's still a surprisingly big Redden following in Ottawa that thinks he can turn it around.

My answer is Fraudeur. Mostly because he's a fraud.
