Hooooo boy, I don't really agree with this take, but I respect the hell out of it's heat. Having said that I don't really have an alternative. I feel like most of the names that come to mind are already thought of as not that great, or are properly revered.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

That's true, but he played here for 3-4 productive seasons before the lockout when he gained 500 lbs. But, to your point, you have to be rated highly to be overrated. I haven't seen any better submissions or come up with one of my own.

Bob Hess has to be a candidate. Or maybe he’s the most overhyped?

I will say this, I never thought of Federko as a Hall of Famer. Was shocked he got in.

He was an average skater at best with no speed. But with that said, it shows you how great a talent he was in terms of vision, intelligence and soft hands he had. No doubt in my mind, if Bernie had wheels, he might of been the 2nd best Center in league behind Gretzky. I think if Bernie had speed, he could of done so much more on the ice because he did have a creative mind.
