Are some of the NHL’s biggest names actually worth the hype anymore?
In this video, we’re breaking down the most overrated players in the NHL for 2025 — the ones with superstar contracts and highlight-reel reputations, but production that just doesn’t match the paycheck.

From Jonathan Huberdeau’s $10.5 million mystery in Calgary, to Darnell Nurse’s defensive struggles, and Trevor Zegras’ highlight-reel flash with little finish, we’re calling out the names the media still won’t.

We’ll also dive into Steven Stamkos’ decline, Mathew Barzal’s inconsistency, Connor Bedard’s impossible expectations, Charlie McAvoy’s overhyped label, and even the legends like Erik Karlsson and Alex Ovechkin who might finally be slowing down.
