Best underated players to use

[Babar61]

To clarify thee title, I mean who are the best players you have found on nhl 13 that seem to play much better then their rating?

One guy i have found is Mason Raymond, it seems he hovers around 79-83 for an overall rating but he has a decent shot and is lighting fast!

In nhl 12 there was a winger named Brandon McMillan ( i think he plays for the ducks farm team in real life) who is a power forward with the best acceleration in the game (98 or something) but I can't find him in nhl 13. I'm sure they didn't have that rating on him this time around though.

Has anyone found some gems?

Mason Raymond - can easily lose the puck....

anyway...for me, Erik Christensen. picked up from FA. very high in face-off and decent defensive awareness and i put him in line 3 and in PK. then i moved him with Benn and Erickson (of Dallas) as their "C" and he complemented them with goals and assist.

another one is Ales Kranjc....i assigned him to Free Agency from Europe league (forgot which one) and picked him up for my AHL team since Dallas has no decent D-man in their farm. due to injuries, promoted him to NHL and assigned in Defense line 2 and since he has decent-above average shot, put him as well in PP. to my surprise, he's one of my top D-man in points.

Scott Parse for the Kings is money for me. Pretty fast with around 86 speed.

Jan Mursak. Not sure what team he originally played for, but in the second year of our Gm connected, the guy is like 90 for all shooting attributes, 97 deke, 90 passing etc, and only like an 82 overall. Also in the high 80s/low90s for speed/acceleration and Puck control.

I use Nashville in an online GM league. 5'9" Ryan Ellis is performing far above his 72 overall rating. His spd/agl/acc are 85 and his puck skills are low 80s, but most of his physical & defensive ratings are in the 70s. However, not only is great retrieving the puck on dump-ins and skating it out of trouble, his quickness helps him defend surprisingly well. I even sneak in a few nasty hipchecks now & then. To top it off, he has 4* potential, so he should develop well if we keep playing.

Mayson Raymond is a good pick up, I have had him as my top 6 back-up player for a few seasons now as he can fit into most situations because of his speed. he is also a great PK player.

One guy that I found (i believe in the FA class of 2014) is Mario Kempe. Nothing special about him, is a 78-81 grinder, not very big, but has great hands. His puck control, deking and passing are way better than a 78 grinder should have, and his shot is very decent as well.

Due to injuries, he has at times been placed in a top 6 role, and he puts up some pretty good numbers. Super good value guy, as he only costs about 1.5 million. Put him with a decent center, and he will get you 15-20 goals, and 35-50 pts. Not bad for a 1.5 million dollar grinder.

My personal favorite is Jared Spurgeon of the Wild. He's only 77 overall but has great speed as well as a decent shot. I actually moved him up to the first pairing with Suter in my GMC league and he has more than held his own. His offensive abilities compliment the defensive-minded Suter perfectly. Another bonus is that he has 4 star potential at the age of 22 so there's plenty of room to develop if you're playing GMC or an offline BaGM.

Any small+fast player to be honest lol. Guys like Raymond, Briere, are lightning fast and enjoyable to play with.
