[@nicksojka7457]

It seems like Slavin is getting less and less "underrated" as the years go on. He's one of the few players in the league who has proven repeatedly that he can stop a healthy McDavid 1-on-1 (there is video evidence of this).

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Slavin is a hell of a defender. Canes always seem to do the most damage to my Bruins. Tough team to go up against in general.

[@ultimate8550]

Agreed, McDavid has rarely been a factor in games when the Canes play against Edmonton. Slavin plays a huge part in that.

[@aidan8473]

He's a beast in fantasy for me. Love the guy

[@RozakIsBack]

Slavin is also an incredible man outside of hockey. Top shelf role model on and off the ice.

[@nicksojka7457]

@@aidan8473 That's been more of a new thing this year, since he's historically a defensive defenseman. But apparently he decided over the offseason "Fuck it. Whatever it takes to win the Norris."

[@dealy9268]

The thing with Slavin is that the guy off the ice is just as good as a person as he is a player. He has really taken Chatfield under his wing on and off the ice!

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

Hopefully Chatty stays after this year , I'd like to see them paired up .

[@johnmccray5904]

Met Slavin at an event and you can tell he is just an all around great guy! Kotkaniemi definitely deserves honorable mention.

[@dealy9268]

@@rosariocannistraro3561 My fear is that this disruption on the D-Core may send Slavin, Chatty, and Burns looking elsewhere. Chatfields contract is due at the end of this year and Slavin's is due 2025.

[@kwpowell0412]

Taking Chatfield under his wing, is him paying forward what a player did to help him. And I'm pretty sure it was John Michael Lyles (spelling?).

[@BigHatMatt]

Love the honorable mention for Mrazek. Honestly when he first started playing for the Hawks I was not a fan, and focused on the fact that Leafs gave up some draft capital to unload him. Boy has he proved me wrong this year, even if record doesnt show it.

[@Somethingsomethingmorbid0]

All the way back to his incredible WJC performance ive noticed hes always been a goalie whos at his best when hes facing more shots. Glad he was given another shot with chi

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

Watching him a ton in Car. and Det. before that the dude can look like a world beater at times and go on some real runs .

[@vastorfenix3962]

Loved him when he was in DET. Wasn’t always consistent, but man was he exciting to watch

[@jrwhynot3631]

Mrazek played his heart out for the hurricanes

[@tontweer]

Reinhart came over at the same time as Bennett so he was overshadowed by Bennett's immediate impact. The same year Verhaeghe had his first crazy season, Reinhart was third in points and goals that year, the next year it was the blockbuster Tkachuk trade year, again third in points and goals, and the second best player in the playoffs for the panthers. Now the roster is settled a bit and he has developed chemistry with everyone on the team. He also had the opportunity to step up in this first part of the season, and has on every line combination he is apart of. Maurice says he's got the highest hockey IQ he's ever seen, and will probably coach as soon as he retires. I hope the panthers can hold on to him, because as barkov has said this probably won't even be his best year!

[@JonahSanderson]

Bad team

[@Commentsurveillance]

Write a book, buddy 😂😂😂😂

[@eddievigil6391]

Nice to see a couple of guys from Colorado College on the list! Speaking of Colorado... besides the big M players (Mack, Mikko & Makar), I would say Devon Toews for his consistent defensive play & offensive ability as well as Logan O'Connor for playing with heart every shift

[@andrewgreen815]

Kyle Connor was my favorite Jet since his rookie campaign. When he arrived he reminded me of Mike Bossy from the Islanders dynasty.

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

I wanted the Canes to take him that draft , The kid was just money when he was at Michigan you could just see he could be a star .

[@reposaado1079]

That little pause on when Mikey Anderson’s brother Joey says to him 🤣

[@leibmenter2331]

THG with the Mikey Anderson pick. Man. Of. CULTURE.

[@Lit3rlyLog1c]

I had the absolute pleasure of running a camera during Suzuki's stint in Guelph in the OHL and watching him develop his game and become more confident. Watching him play in the O he was clearly ahead of his peers and it was obvious he would slot seamlessly into the NHL

[@EskimowSC]

For Dallas, interesting choice going with Oettinger, I am a little surprised that Wyatt Johnston wasn't the pick. He's so crazy good. 20 years old, plays like he's been in the NHL for years, has strong habits. He's also just fun to watch, he always seems to be in the action, knows where to go and where to be. Super exciting to watch him every game.

[@TheScotian82]

Im surprised it wasnt Pavelski

[@TheClutchCanuck]

I echo your sentiment with Boeser, is his point production sustainable all year? Probably not, but with the amount of heartache he’s dealt with over the past year, I’m just really happy to see the success he’s had on the ice. Glad he’s on the team and hope he continues to be productive

[@Ironclad6661]

As a Kings fan I'm going to go with Quinton Byfield this season. He's a born play maker, his hockey IQ, skills and speed at his size is just remarkable.

[@JacksonKevin626]

I agree with you 😊

[@Laisbetter_yus]

As a kings fan as well, imma have to go with Kevin fiala. He’s such an amazing player, he’s got speed, hockey IQ, he’s also nasty

[@zacharyhischar1707]

As another kings fan, I would go with Trevor moore OR even Blake Lizotte tbh both guys have been massive for us!

[@noha0111]

An another Kings fan, I think Fiala has been good but also sloppy with the puck, an underrated guy for us is Matt Roy

[@TheGreyCrayon]

As another Kings fan, I'm going to have to go with the whole roster (-Copley). It's been an incredible team effort.

[@andrewnelson7010]

The between two Staals videos always give me a good chuckle. Especially the Alex Tuch episode with him “being a fan of a team so far away from his house” 😂

[@BrattyNerdGirl]

The fact that Couturier seems to be healthy & back to his old self is absolutely huge for the Flyers. No one expected them to be this good. Obviously it’s still early but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.

[@JacksonKevin626]

Glad to see him back on the ice 🤜

[@toocamcivic]

No doubt! Glad coooooots is back.

[@Commentsurveillance]

I know they’re going to fall off. Especially on January 14th

[@seanpetrie4300]

Love the video as always! Keep up the good work

[@2masterofpuppets2]

I LOVE watching Elias Pettersson, JT Miller, and brayden point! Theres a young dude on my Bolts named Eyssimont i like too!

[@SabresGuy87]

Jeff Skinner's Between 2 Stalls is God tier content! 😂

[@SoFlaSooner]

I agree with your choice for Anaheim - Frank the Tank Vatrano. I really miss him playing for the Panthers and always find myself cheering for him when we aren’t playing them. I wear my game-used Vatrano throw-back sweater often with fond memories.

[@thebreakawayoperation]

Would be interesting to see a video about your favorite passers/playmakers in the league! I know Draisaitl gets a lot of love in that department. I really like Matias Maccelli because it feels like he's almost automatic with those perfect cross-ice passes during the power play.

[@nster3]

As a Devils fan, I really like Nico Hischier. He's a humble leader who leads by example and has a great 2-way game all over the ice, I really hope this season turns around for him once he's back from injury! Definitively underrated IMO.

[@younghoggy]

Great channel! You should do this with a twist annually; Do what player/coach you'd take from each team (only one/team) to build your team: 2 goalies, 7 D-men, 13 Forwards, 3 coaches (head coach, defensive coach, offensive coach) that leaves 7 teams out that you don't pick from - create some good debate 😉

[@donperez8774]

If you can get both Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby unhinged enough to do stupid things against you and they get ejected, you're doing something right as a mild-on-the-ice defensive defenseman. Mikey Anderson deserves a title of honor just for that achievement, and thank you for noticing him, Hockey Guy. PS I also credit Anderson with bringing back Drew Doughty's game.

[@Mark-jr6ld]

Thank you for resisting the urge to call Robert Thomas "smooth"

[@hockey582004]

As a Wings fan I'm biased, but I'm really liking what Seider is bringing to our team, we needed a high quality defender and Seider is filling that role and looks like he could really be a cornerstone.

[@capt.danieldavidson6291]

Shannon: A bit off topic (apologies) but I am in your neck of the woods, and would like very much to shake your hand, and say Thank You to you and your family for the incredible service that you offer us all. So, when is your next Meet Up? Tks!

[@JSL0202]

Sanderson is already the best defenseman on the Sens. Like you said the sky is the limit. His offensive game is coming along this year and he was always a defensive stalwart. So glad we hit with Tim and Sandy 3 and 5 in 2020

[@jordanc2844]

He has to be the best defensive defenseman in the league. Just unbelievable

[@Carimbo575]

I think Sanderson has a Norris in his future, but still, my favorite Sen has to be Zub. Whenever he is not playing the Sens appear incapable of doing anything.

[@jordanc2844]

@@Carimbo575 he’s so good, especially defending and on the pk

Ok look. The absolutly excellent hockey content aside... how many of us are here for accidental CAT and or BUNNEH... content?

[@mickhoddy]

How I know the Hockey Guy is the most legit guy…. He said Mikey Anderson is his favorite player on LA. Within months of being drafted it was said the Mikey A. Is a possible future Captain of the LA Kings. Oh yeah and when Drew Doughty says he wants to partner with this guy and this guy only. Solid as they come.

[@maxwelljohnson8972]

Just read the Hockey news and it said M.Anderson might slide down to the 2nd or 3rd pairing. You were right about him being a well kept secret, love the fact that you hype up guys like him, my favorite player on the Kings right now.

[@omfg322]

I'm very happy for brock. After going through a back injury wrist injury and losing loved ones he worked hard to overcome it and is doing great. Overcoming any one of those is hard enough but all 3 abd people still wanted to trade him not even giving him a chance to bounce back

[@pablobarosa27]

Solid choice with Skinner, Shannon. He's been the most consistent Sabre forward for 3 years now. He's also a high event hockey player. Very fun to watch.

[@kathygreenlay73]

Thanks for not placing Winnipeg last for a change! Also your confidence in our team is a welcome change of view.

[@autistica1]

As a Panthers fan, my problem with Ekblad has always been his fragility. Dude is made of sugar glass. You can never count on him.

[@killgil1322]

Was Ryan Lindgren of the Rangers your honorable mention?

[@madams117ma]

You should do a hockey guy Hall of Fame and do your own take on it

[@AMan_629]

For all the bad that’s happening on the island rn, horvat has been a bright spot. He isn’t scoring as much as hoped for but he’s still producing at a career high level. On pace for 45 assists (34 is his career high set in 2019) and 71 points (also a career high). He’s been elite next to holmstrom on the pk (most of our pk struggles come from Mayfield Cal Casey and coaching) and he’s given the power play the spark it needed. Was against the trade and extension at first but he’s proving me wrong this year

[@OldRustySteele]

Shannon, that green North Stars jersey is sublime! ❤ Far better than any of the Dallas Stars or Minnesota Wild’s jerseys.

[@fatboiii6969]

My pick for Pittsburgh is Ryan Graves. He's been a much needed solid defenceman and I've been really impressed by him.

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Kyle Connor is the league top scorer this year (may be tied up with Matthews now not sure) and yet still so underated

[@conroche1535]

Speaking of Igor dialed in: Rangers analyst and former goalie Steve Valiquette had a telling stat the other night. Seems Shesterkin's save percentage when Rangers were up 1, down 1 or tied, led the league.

[@dominickefrim3088]

Interesting fact about LA Kings defensemen Mikey Anderson. He is only 24 years old and won't hit his veteran prime for 2 more years. He is locked at a reasonable caphit through all his prime years. Byfield at 21 won't hit those veteran prime years for another 5 seasons.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

I'm absolutely chuffed with Lindgren. My problem is he seems to have to be playing regularly to be good. He's either a starter or he's no good. Look at December last year where he played just about every game and the Caps won almost every game. He was excellent and he still ended up a sub .900 on the season. IF Kuemper can get healthy this season we have a problem. They're paying Kuemper a lot of money to be a back-up if they stick with Lindgren. On a positive note they have a bit of cap space with Backstrom out.

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

seeing a kid from Montana be this good is dope, Sanderson is a beast on the blue line

[@ofs82]

Rem Pitlick is with Pittsburgh but he's stuck at WBS, his cap hit was the problem which is why he's unable to make headway into the main team as they can't get cap relief sending Carter down. Zohorna has been genuinely really good, he's not the most exciting watch or anything, he seems like he doesn't use his size and isn't some high-skill player so he can frustrate at times, but he just produces and that third line of O'Connor-Eller-Zohorna has been very effective with very good results ever since he came up. He just does things that seem to help the players around him play better even if he isn't being conspicuously great himself.

[@Ben__Dover]

Surprised you didn’t say Parker Kelly for Ottawa!

[@rodbelding9523]

Zohorna is an interesting choice for the Pens. I'm indifferent about him, he's 6'7 but he plays like he thinks he's a finesse player. My current favorite Penguin is Reilly Smith I think, he is just solid in every aspect of hockey.

[@fantasyguru26]

Leafs fan here, I can't pick a Hab but when I get a chance I'll comment on all your picks. For now I will say Marner is my favorite Leaf too. He can be frustrating at times. But when he's truly on his game, he's so fun to watch. He's the most creative offensive player that we have.

[@Ivaneus27]

I was a bit surprised that you didn't pick Gabe Vilardi for Winnipeg considering how much you've talked about him the last couple of years.

[@AceMatthew25414]

Been watching Bedard since his days in West Van, he had a NHL shot at 13 and Im not being dramatic.

[@lunalouhoo]

I think the Caps have a GREAT goalie tandem! I feel so much more confident with Darcy and Charlie in the nets. It's so much more calming to watch a game now than when Samsonov/Vanecek was in the nets. They are good too...but sometimes they weren't. So far with Darcy/Charlie most goals against them are the Caps forward/defense faults putting them in a bad situation.

[@ddudeman1313]

The hardest part of Vatrano not getting his shot with the Bruins is he is from Massachusetts and playing for the Bruins was huge for him.

[@TrAvi5link]

Marner has a no move list I'm pretty sure so i doubt the Leafs are able to trade him. I cant see him wanting to be traded away from his hometown team.

[@tonywarner4056]

Skinner has been very consistent for the Sabres and is one of the few guys that actually goes to the net on the team. The Sabres will get going, injuries have hurt them and the younger core having a slow start (Power, Cozens) hasn’t helped. I think they are due for a big win streak eventually, just not sure when. Goaltending and team defense also continue to hurt them and there offense has not found its groove yet. People forget how young they are still.

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

I hated seeing him leave Carolina you could see on many nights he was the only one who gave a sh*it , He needed that change of scenery .

[@DominikZezula]

Otter might be overrated at times, but it's hard not to root for him. There is a difference (at least for me as a Stars fan) between him and guys like Hellebuyck, Sorokin, Shesterkin, Saros, Vasilyevsky - you can clearly see that his ceiling is insanely high, he's just unable to turn on the "unstoppable machine" mode yet, or at least not for long. It can be frustrating, like in the last game against Colorado, but it also makes him more "human", he's just a young guy full of raw talent that screws up sometimes, but always comes back. That's why we like him so much. He's, in a way, relatable.

[@byst33]

It's easy to forget how young he is. He definitely has a vezina caliber ceiling, just hasn't quite done it yet. There's time

[@Commentsurveillance]

Demko trashes all of them

[@youngandfree93]

You should do a least favourite player on each team too :)

[@thebreakawayoperation]

I followed the 2023 draft class pretty closely so a lot of those are my favorite players for their teams (Bedard for Chicago, Carlsson for Anaheim, Fantilli for Columbus). Other than that, I also really like to root for players who have struggled/are called busts. My favorite Shark is Zadina, and my favorite Ranger is Lafrenière. For the Coyotes, the team I watch the most, I have to mention Maccelli because he's one of the best passers in the league imo.

[@JPMadden]

Just a reminder that Mitch Marner now has a no-movement clause.

[@Pikeswrath]

That's good to hear. Would hate to lose a homegrown star. Marner's one of the top 5 or 6 play-makers in the league, is still young and has a lot of heart.

[@barkofsky11]

For the Blues, Thomas is developing into his full potential, which is great to see. Kyrou is improving his 200-foot game, which may be why his points-scoring is lagging a bit. I’m liking the play of Neighbours, Perunovich, and Toropchenko (my favorite lately-size, speed, grit-what’s not to like?). Hofer’s been solid in goal for a rookie. I can see the STL retool working out pretty well over the next few seasons.

[@sfcSpidey]

they are off to a good start but i still think they need a headliner for this next group i think dvorsky and snuggy will be good to really good dean and bolduc okay but hoping we can somehow get the guy top it off

[@TwoNNsB]

I'm an Ottawa fan and I think Sanderson and Chycrun are the best guys on the Sens' blue line. Followed by Zub. Big fan of Chabot but he is being forced down the depth chart. Its a good problem to have.

[@jonmendelson1104]

I was expecting Sturm to be your pick for the Sharks...earlier in the video you were talking about someone being a "no BS" interview (or something like that, forgot the wording) and that describes Sturm as well.

[@cja6139]

I was expecting K’Andre Miller for the Rangers. The more you watch him on both ends of the ice the more there is to love

[@bigsheilaandthebeefyboys5394]

Tavares is the one to go if Leafs have to lose 1. Nylander is leading the core right now, but you can't put a monetary value on Mitch and Austons chemistry.

[@TheScotian82]

Draisaitl, Matty Tkachuk and Pavelski for me. HM/SO to my home town boys; Crosby, MacKinnon and Marchand. Quite a top line Greater Halifax could put together for Team Canada🤌

You should do a top 30 defencemen of your time watching hockey video. And then maybe do the other positions too if it goes well. But I would really like a video on the best defensemen you’ve seen. If I did one of those, I would have like 8 years of defensemen to cover cause I’m only 18. Lol

[@flyingtiger1603]

I never understood why the Hawks gave up certain players too. I mean if they still had Schmaltz, Debrincat and Dach, then add Bedard they might be at least a playoff team right now.

[@csolivais1979]

Some of it was that the last GM had traded out 1st round picks (Debrincat) and the other, in my opinion, was them not wanting to sign long term on the cheap. Dach needed a fresh start somewhere else, and, I believe, Schmaltz was traded by the last GM.

[@zacharyhischar1707]
