Over-rated
Versteeg as anything more than a third line player.
Widemans D is horrendous but his outlet passing and shot is far to inconsistent and should be considered a slow footed over-rated player.
Grossman as anything more than a AHL over the hill slow ex NHL Dman.
Ferland when he is not contributing as a physical disturber is over-rated but he easily has the ability to change that to be more consistent in that area and I think he will.
I used to think Backlund 2 seasons ago was over-rated but he has proven his doubters wrong several times. Backlund has emerged and physically matured into a Quality 2 way Center.
