Who do you feel is the most underrated NHL player?

Well, depends who's playing well and when.\n\nBut 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 love Horcoff and I don't think he gets the respect he deserves.\n\nTop ten underrated players IMHO:\n1.  Shawn Horcoff (Oilers)\n2.  Daniel Briere (Sabres)\n3.  Samuel Pahlssen (Ducks)\n4.  Jason Smith (Oilers)\n5.  Mike Fisher (Senators)\n6.  Derek Roy (Sabres)\n7.  Scott Hannan (Sharks)\n8.  Andrei Markov (Canadiens)\n9.  Olaf Sapryken (Predators, I think?) (former Flame anyway)\n10.  Fernando Pisani (Oilers)\n\nThere's probably lots of others too, but I want these guys on my team...

Wayne Gretzky!! He was so amazing... when I was young I used to watch him play with the Oilers and I had to find ways to watch the games cause my mother wanted me to go to bed. The stats talk for themselves. Best goalscorer, more assists than everybody has point... hold or share 61 record at the time he took his retirement on April 18 1999. It goes so fast... It will be the sixth anniversary of his birthday that day.

I definitely agree with u.  Arenas is one of the most underrated players and dosen't get the cred and hype he should.  He is one of the greatest guards, and probably in the top 5-10 in the nba right now.  He's a great leader for his team and is a lethal scorer.  Arenas just isn't recognized by many and very underrated.  It's time we recognized this tremendous talent named Gilbert Arenas.

Pound for Pound, I would have to say Allen Iverson. He is an amazing player for his size and he has great heart. He has a "Never say die" attitude that makes him a competitor. He isn't even six foot tall, and yet he still averages over 30 points a game in a leage that the average height is more around 6'5". He is an all around, truly amazing player. Not to mention my idol!

It might be Prince...definitely not Chauncey...he came in 5th in MVP voting.\n\nCould be Arenas.  Also could be Elton Brand.  There's a lot of underrated players out there.

Favorite current player is Peter Forsberg.  I know this is a easy choice, but when you have the best hockey player on the planet on your team, it's kinda hard not to like him.\n\nForsberg is a force and is very talented.\n\nAs for current and the past- I have to go with Ron Hextall.  I was too young for the Cups of Barber, Parent and Clarkey.  Hextall was a great goalie with a huge mean streak.  Gotta love 'em!

Mike Portnoy and Phill Collins...at least in my opinion...\n\n=]

Yes... Jaromir is absolutely incredible this year... don't forget other player will be close to win this award... Eric Staal is one of my favorite pick

Right now when healthy it's either Forsberg or Jagr.\nIn a couple of years it's going to be Ovechkin. He's only 20 and he's already one of the most exciting players to watch.

olie kahn for me. tough under pressure and boosted by years of experience. he wasn't the world's No. 1 goalie for nothing!

get a life pissburgh fans. hines ward was in the friggin' pro bowl last year, so how can he be underrated? and justin H, your sorry team is 2-6 buddy. doesn't sound like a bunch of underrated guys to me. in fact, ben worthlessberger is probably the most OVERRATED player in the NFL. \n\nas for the most underrated, miamis wes welker should be on that list.

Ovechkin, Heatley and Kovalchuk are all candidates. But I'd go with Ovechkin. He's the youngest and he's got the most potential.

I think the best goalie in the league is Brodeur.  Hasek did really well when he wasn't injured, but Emery has done well for the Sens since then.  I think the most valuable goaltender in the league is Kiprusoff of the Flames.  I don't think they would have made the playoffs without him.  On the losing side, Fernandez did well without the right defence for the Wild.  Based on you question though, I'd go with Kiprusoff of Calgary.

I would say George Bush, but he's been taken already so I'll come up with something more original...  Todd Bertuzzi on the hockey team, the Vancouver Canuks.  He blindsided Colorado Avalanche Steve Morre in the temple, broke his neck in a few places, gave him a concussion, head laserations as well as minor injuries.  The game was not actually going on at the time, it was inbetween plays, the puck was not even on the ice.  Morre didn't see him coming.  He could've died.  Now here's the kicker... Bertuzzi was only penalized by getting suspended for the remainder of the season, never went to jail, and is PLAYING HOCKEY AGAIN!!!  He played all last season, and he'll be back.  He definately deserves a good booger.  A nice, long, floppy, green one with dirt mixed in, maybe a little blood too, right in the face, stretching from his eye past his bent nose all the way to his mouth.

Chris Pronger is soooooo awesome!!!!\nLove him!!!  As well as my man, Fernado Pisani!\nGO OILERS GO!!!!

No knock on Crosby but Ovechkin is the total package. His blend of talent, effort, skill and intensity is unrivaled. I think he's the most complete rookie I have ever seen, and I've been following hockey since I was 4 years old. It staggers the mind to contemplate the fact that he will only get better! If the Caps can begin surrounding him with talent, he'll achieve the heights previously known only to Gretzky and Lemieux. He's just that good!
