Just have more free time than usual today and decided to make it a me day so have some time on my hands. With that said just for fun I would like to hear/read anyones opinion of who the most under rated player in the nhl is...Here is mine

Blair Betts....And no this is not just since he has played with Philly. I have always had a ton of respect for this guys multi dimensional game in which he displays a high level of talent and hockey intellect no matter what situation he is thrust into or where in the game he is or winning or losing. If you ever just watch this guy from one end to the other and he goes 100 percent full out one end to the other constantly you will never or at least you will be hard pressed to ever find this guy making a bad decision or being out of position. I will not call him the best penalty killer in the NHL but will say he only has peers doing that cause no one does it better, Not a prolific goal scorer but with the puck on his stick he knows what to do with it and can find the back of the net. Finally my fave quality in a player he plays with no fear ever.

Hope to hear some other selections, info optional, you can just toss a name out there if you want.

Oh no goalies though this is for hockey players...lol

Ryan Kesler. I do hear his name a bit though, but playing on the Canucks he definitely doesn't get the attention and he's a solid player.

Also gotta agree with Moulson how many multi-goal games will he have before he get his name out there?? I would say right now hes been better then Tavares, but I think Tavares has a lot to work with and will get better.

I was waiting for you,I knew you would have a list for this and I figured I would like it...I do...Really like Bolland here, people just don't get what this guy does and I do not here his name enough, I put him into the Blair Betts kinda mold. A team suffers when he is not there but nobody can figure out why except the coaches that is.....Check Philly's record this year bro with and without Blair Betts I will go try and dig it back up I was looking at it but it really tells a story on it's own,his role changes the whole team but people have no clue...I like the whole list all are better than they get recognized to be.....

Moulson is a more complete hockey player than John Tavares, that may ruffle some peoples feathers but watch them play from one end to the other and without the puck and easy call...

Gotta go with Horton as well on this one, but giving honorable mention to Versteeg (+14!!) and a guy I see a lot of over here, Burrows.
