I think a guy that hasn't been mentioned that should be is David Booth.....I think he is pretty good...what do you guys think? 30 plus goals in both of his years...nice contract down in Florida....I say he is underrated

The Most Underrated player in the game is Marc Savard. Hands down.

I would say hands down - Marc savard
I dont think even Boston fans collect alot of his cards....

I dont think you could even use last season's rookies as any indication of underrated...should have a couple years of being good to even be considered under-rated....

As for other players, I woud say R.Nash, M.St.Louis, P.Stastny, A.Kopitar, M.Schneider, R.Whitney to name a few - and also some old timers that were under-rated in their time.....HOFF L.Robitaille, D.Weight, A.Mogilny, D.Gilmour, D.Andreychuk....and the list goes on....These guys were a point per game, or major leaders on their team or consistantly good throughout their careers....You could say any 1000pt player who is not collected very much or even known to you considered under-rated

And I agree its all about location....and then a little of talent - Ovie shoud be very close to crosby in all BV - and I still do not understand why Jordan Staal is still so high....over his 3 years (besideswinning the cup with 2 playoff scoring leaders), he is just an average player and above average as defensive forward....he is not elite or even great...yet his RC are right below Malkins and a ot morethan everyone else.....for 06-07

BTW - You can not gage any RC values from the 70s, 80s, 90s as indications on under-rated - there were a TON of cards made backthen sothey are very easy to acquire...
