I think Kopitar is the perfect illustration of 'underrated' vs. 'underappreciared'. People rate Kopitar very highly, he is widely considered the best player on a 2-time Stanley Cup winning roster and a no doubt HOFer, it's just that he doesn't get mentioned enough when people talk about elite players
Led the 2012 playoffs in goals, assists and points, and the 2014 playoffs in assists and points, and didn't win the Conn Smythe in either of those two years. He has 80 points in 95 playoff games, and averages around 73 points during the regular season. Him and Aleksander Barkov, underrated for sure.
When most your games start at 10:30 PM Eastern time, a lot of people are going to miss out. He'd have the same amount of selkes as Bergeron if he played ANYWHERE on the East Coast or Canada

The greatest Slovene ever
4th in the league in face offs right now. He's literally the best one stat fantasy pickup of the season!

He’s probably 4th of his gen only behind Crosby, Ovi and Malkin. Pretty damn good company
Have his rookie card
Hes overrated. Had a stacked team when he won the cup
I don't think it's so much underrated alot of people don't see him play as much

Can’t express how bad I want the Wild to acquire him this year!
He’s a modern day Marcel Dion.
As a Kings fan, yes. He’s underrated and under appreciated
Great two way forward!!!
If it wasnt for my man Bergy, Kopitar would have won more Selkes
As a sens fan, not a day passes where I think about the fact that we could have had him, but drafted Brian Lee instead…
