    Wyatt Johnston for me. Guy revived JB’s career, and put up quality numbers without L1 and PP1.

    It’s hard to call anyone in Montreal underrated, but Kaiden Guhle looked like he belonged on the top D pair

  3. Roguemutantbrain

    I feel like Jack Quinn flew fairly under the radar as a solid top 6 goal scoring winger

  4. dementedchimpanzee

    Dude I don’t think the NHL is ready for Brandt clarke. He’s ranked top 20 in most prospect rankings but i feel he’s much better than that

    I know he was a Calder nominee, but I feel like after the playoffs, people forget how great Skinner was this past season. He’s on a team that’s had historically bad or mediocre goaltending and defense, and kept this Oilers team practically invincible throughout the last two months of the season. I can only imagine he’s going to get better this year, and I’m concerned as a Kings fan.

  6. I feel like nobody really talked about Tommy Novak much and he was damn near a PPG player.

    Kirill Marchenko. Scored 21 goals on a terrible jackets team only playing 59 games. He didn’t deserve the Calder but for sure under rated

  8. wavydyv

    Jake Sanderson. He’s got all the tools to be an elite two way D man and wont be long until the rest of the league takes notice

  9. carry-on_replacement

    I’m not sure if his age qualifies him, but Kuzmenko did great in his first stint in the NHL.

    Perfetti.

    Unfortunately he got injured and sat out a good portion of the season.

    Hudson Fasching joined the Islanders when they were losing a shit ton of games. He played a very solid bottom 6 role and was a huge reason as to why they made the post season

  12. TheFrayneTrain

    Berggren has the potential to be a poor man’s Backstrom, he should be lethal if/when he gets the chance to play opposite DeBrincat

  13. TheKid_BigE

    Tommy Novak, he was a stud for us this year, if he played all 82 games at his production rate he’d be too 3 or even had won the Calder this year, amazing start to his career

    Matthew Knies. I know by some he’s loved, but I’ve seen way to many people hating on him saying he’s overrated. Kid comes out and plays almost his first nhl minutes in the playoffs and does great. To prove that that’s a good sign, most recent rookies to do that were Cole Caufield, who only played 10 regular season games, and Cale Makar who started his career in the playoffs

  15. Dalthanes

    Jake Sanderson. Ottawa fans love him, seems pretty slept on by everyone else

  16. SketchedOutOptimist_

    How is he much closer to the camera, yet that chicks head appears twice the size of his head?

  17. Josh_Smash_

    Biased, but Noah Cates. Can’t wait to see him get used to the NHL game more, if he gets fiestier like TK and stronger, he’s gonna be a helluva player for a long time.

  18. lunghole_larry

    Mattias Maccelli by a million miles. Literally no buzz around him and he had higher points per game than any other rookie. If he hadnt missed games due to injury (weak argument, i know) hes impact wouldnt have been ignorable. Guy’s going to be a big deal for my yotes

  19. AdmirableStatement47

    Kirill Marchenko? More like Kir-ILLuminating the ice! Underrated talent indeed. 🔥🏒

    Owen Power. It’s far harder to do what he did on defense than it is to put up numbers offensively. The defensive side of the game is far different than producing offensively.
