Annually, The Athletic conducts surveys among NHL players, covering a range of topics that often pique interest and occasionally reveal unexpected insights. One question that consistently grabs fans' attention is the query about the "most overrated player in the league," and this year's findings are no different.

The top response, receiving 26.73% of the votes, fell into the 'Other' category, encompassing more than 25 players, each receiving a single vote. In the second position is Trevor Zegras, a forward for the Anaheim Ducks, with 12.87%, followed by Darnell Nurse, a defenseman for the Edmonton Oilers, at 7.92%. Tied for fourth place are Matthew Tkachuk from the Florida team and Jason Robertson from Dallas, both at 6.93%.

Interestingly, several Boston Bruins forwards, namely David Pastrnak and Matthew Poitras, also appeared on the list. This revelation has sparked debate among Bruins enthusiasts, given that both players have consistently made positive contributions to the team.

WHO VOTED MATT POITRAS AS BEING OVERRATED ???????
David Pastrnak is not overrated


Although 'Other' dominates the rankings, it's fascinating to observe the inclusion of Pastrnak and Poitras, as well as Tkachuk and Robertson. These players have seen a slight decrease in their production compared to the previous season but have maintained a point-per-game average. The players' own perspective on being considered overrated adds an element of surprise, leading to speculation about the factors influencing these opinions.
