That being said, some people might not realize that he's truly one of the best snipers in the NHL so I guess he's, to a point, underrated. A little. Maybe.jamestobrienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607553979777452973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-47037646344235577662009-03-12T11:22:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:22:00.000-05:00I'm gonna have to give a shout-out to Kovy. He we...I'm gonna have to give a shout-out to Kovy. He went from a horrible (for him) start for the season to being in 4th place for goals and probably well within striking distance for 2nd. Also, since he was named Cap'n on the 11th, no one has more goals or points than he does in the league.<BR/><BR/>But, he plays for the Thrashers, so neither he nor soon to be 30 goal scorer Bryan Little gets any attention at all.

Which means last year he underachieved WILDLY. At least for a guy in his pay range. So the underrated talk kind of makes me giggle.<BR/><BR/>The one question I have for Krejci: is it a contract year thing? I could see a team overpaying him next season (will it be Boston or not?).jamestobrienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607553979777452973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-40930263716343407852009-03-10T20:39:00.000-05:002009-03-10T20:39:00.000-05:00Didn't realize his shooting percentage was so high...Didn't realize his shooting percentage was so high, but he tends to take "high percentage" shots.

His SH% is 22 so far...a league high.
