Maple Leafs Captain Dion Phaneuf may be one of the most popular players in Toronto, but he isn’t getting a lot of love throughout the NHL.
A recent Sports Illustrated poll asked 161 NHL players who they thought was the most overrated player in the league. Phaneuf topped out at number one.
But he isn’t the only Leaf on the list. Defenceman Mike Komisarek is listed at number 10.
Canuck Roberto Luongo came in at number four, while San Jose Shark Dany Heatley takes fifth place. Tampa Bay Lightning star Vinny Lecavalier is number seven.
Former Art Ross and Hart Memorial Trophy winner Alex Ovechkin, meanwhile, ranked second on the list.
