Bet Dion Phaneuf will be a popular pick here lol
Iginla. He hasnt scored or even made the roster in years and yet everyone acts like hes the greatest player in franchise history
Mangiapane
Mangiapane. People absolutely loved him because he had one good year, but realistically he was a 3rd line player, and only a 3rd liner because he played with such good defensive players on his line. He showed time and time again how legitimately terrible he was when separated from those guys.
Dion Phaneuf
Roman Turek was pretty disappointing
Hot take, but Elias Lindholm. Dude fell off after Gaudreau and Tkachuk left. I seriously thought Huberdeau would elevate him higher
Brad Treliving
I just saw him at Crowfoot Chapters!!
Jay Bouwmeester
Surprised I haven’t seen James Neal here yet
James Neal
Trevor kidd
Most Overrated – Sven Baertschi
James Neal
Bennett.
When he was drafted a lot of this sub expected him to replace Monahan by the end of camp.
Then people said he’d be a first line winger.
He’s gotten better after being moved to Florida but he’s still a good middle six complementary player. Not a fourth overall pick quality.
Seeing Phaneuf as overrated is kind of crazy considering how good he was for us. Post trade his career tailed off, but he was a legit guy for his entire stint in Calgary.
Guys like Huberdeau and Neal are pretty fairly rated imo. They came in with a lot of hype, but have been pretty fairly rated since then.
Most recently I think the guy that was most overrated was Tanev.
Yes, I love the guy, but the amount of people that thought he was getting us a 1st+ at the deadline were huffing fumes.
Mangiapane was probably another one that people were super high on because he’s scored 30 goals before, but definitely fell off.
If by most overrated, you mean someone who the fans hyped and when the player came here, they didn’t live up to expectation than it is easily either Rob Neidermeyer or Olli Jokinen.
If by overrated you mean someone who Flames fans have said was amazing, but ultimately wasn’t all he was jazzed up to be, then it would have to be Dustin Wolf. He’s a NHL-calibre goalie, but I think it’s been unfair to him to put so much expectation on him. Let the guy have a few bad seasons in the NHL to learn, grow and adjust!
Rene Bourque. He could’ve been an insane player if he was just consistent. So many times he’d be a game changer just to disappear for a month or two.
Bonus runner up, Calle Jarnkrok. Dude was so cursed playing here.
Mark Jankowski (honourable mention Trevor Kidd).
I’m going to go off the beaten path here a bit and say Jiri Hudler. Came over from a cup winning Detroit team and had 2 really mediocre seasons before having a career year then falling back to mediocrity.
James Neal
If you consider what the cost was to get him, Gary Leeman should win in a effing landslide
TJ Brodie. Everyone praised him for his offensive capabilities, but he was so bad defensively
Rob « the man who would do nothing » Niedermayer
Trevor Kidd
I don’t know maybe Olli Jokinen for me. Growing up at the trade deadline getting him he was supposed make our team Stanley Cup favourites but I never enjoyed watching his game.
Olli Jokinen
I’d say Olli Jokinen was hugely over rated in my opinion!
Matthew Philips.
Based on this subreddit. People thought he was NHL calibre for so long and gave Darryl shit for not giving him a chance.
