Martin St. Louis
I'm only doing top-3
Im going to have to disagree with you on Arnott. Hes been nothing but spectaular this year for Dallas. I would replace him with either Scott Young or Pierre Turgeon (even though hes playing great lately)
John Madden
Patrice Brisebois
Chris Osgood
Keith Primeau
Adam Oates (look at him this year)
I'm going to have to disagree with this list. John Madden is having an off year, but I don't think that makes him overrated. Brisebois was practically getting booed off ice last year, I don't think that just because he is tolerated now that he is overrated. I don't think that many people consider Osgood to be a good goalie, Keith Primeau is one of the best defensive centers in the game, and Adam Oates is in the twilight of his HOF career.

I don't think it is so much about John Madden not living up to expectations, as much as he was sometimes touted as practically being the second coming of Christ....especially on these boards.
Yeah, second coming of Christ, Selke/CS candidate, one or the other. It didn't help that M=G and a few others made obnoxious Madden=God Avatars. He had a strong playoffs and I guess some posters couldn't handle it

These are just off the top of my head.. there are better ones I'm sure.
You've got to be kidding! Gary Roberts over-rated?? I think not, the guy hits with best of them and will take punishment in front of the net like very few will. He's an emotional, physical player who posesses strong leadership abilities and in my opinion is the true Captain of the Leafs...Sorry Mats, your a great player, just haven't prooven yourself as a leader...
and
Eric Brewer is a solid young defencemen, best known for his defensive play! Very hot commodity in the NHL today!

Roberto Luongo Parise will be a great player for the DEVS for a long time. You're just ticked because you wanted Zach and then we traded places with you to get him.
