Hall is a good player. Just because I think he's overrated doesn't automatically mean I think he's a terrible player, he's not. He's just got a terrible hockey IQ and plays with his head down far too often. He's good, not great.
Eberle is a decent player, but one of the worst defensive players in the league. And he goes through the motions far too often. One game this season against the Flames he was great, played with some emotion and played really well. But far too often now he's just a shadow of his former self and really is a liability defensively.
Overrated doesn't mean garbage.
