I don’t know if I’d call him underrated at this point.

after 4 nations he’s not. He’s pretty properly rated. Most people tuned into hockey have him top 10 overall defensemen even without the point contributions that the Norris guys have.

He’s been universally recognized as the best defensive d-man in the NHL for like 7 years now

Depends on what you mean. I think at this point he’s universally recognized as the best defensive defenseman right now.
What that doesn’t translate to is national recognition. People want to see Cale deking dudes in overtime. Is what it is.
Me personally, I think hes perfectly rated but underappreciated

I think he is still underrated, but not the MOST anymore
There’s a group of guys people say are above him that they should say he’s a part of, but they dont cause he’s not a goal scorer.

No, he’s pretty widely regarded as the best defensive defenseman in the entire league.

He won gold on a team with a perfect PK against one of the most stacked offensive teams of all time. Anyone who cares about hockey knows who Slavin is
