Most Underrated Sabre?

I can't chose.

 

I got Gionta and Larsson, they played well together , what a force with foligno.   It was a great 3rd line.

 

McCabe also played more than we should  have expected of him.

Reinhart had his moments, but he had a bad stretch in the end, and recovered a bit.

Gorges...Why does everyone hate him so much, all he does is work hard every shift, IMO he will be good as our number 5/6 D-man this year

I certainly don't hate the guy. Seems like a real stand-up teammate and gritty competitor. I mean, I can see your point. 

It's his complete lack of offensive skills and slower than molasses skating that makes me wish he was no longer a Sabre. In fact, given his playing time relative to skill level, I'd argue he's one of the most overrated players on the team as he shouldn't be lacing them up in the NHL at all anymore. But that contract...he's probably going to be hanging around another season. 

Keeping him as a 'character guy', if Housley is willing to put him in the pressbox half of the games and play him in for less than 12 minutes/game the other half, I can live with him on the roster. But that's about it.

Anders Nilsson, by a long shot, although I guess he's technically not on the team anymore. I don't understand it - I saw most of his games last year and he looked really good in all of them. Often better than Lehner, I thought - same net-filling size, but he seems much quicker all around - snappier reflexes and faster at getting back in position after fighting off a tough shot. 

 

I thought he should have been given an opportunity to take over the starting job, but management is completely in bed with Lehner. Not that Lehner is bad, I just thought Nilsson looked at least as good, and at a much cheaper price.
