Underrated: Ben Bishop and Nikita Kucherov Looking back at last season, I would say he is closer to equal with Garrison at an 84 than above him. His score puts him one point below Anton Stralman and one point above Jason Garrison. That being said, Filppula seems closer to an 84 than his current 86.Īnd while Braydon Coburn was a solid blueline presence throughout the season his impact wasn’t quite deserving of an 85.
While he did have the best faceoff percentage on the team, he wasn’t as versatile as Stralman or Kucherov and didn’t generate anywhere near as much offense as Nikita Kucherov. Filppula’s 86 puts him even with Nikita Kucherov and Anton Stralman and I don’t agree that those players are on the same level. While both of these players had great seasons last year and played key roles for the Bolts, I think their ratings are just a little high.
Overrated Players: Valtteri Filppula and Braydon Coburn
Here’s my take on who’s overrated and who is underrated in the beta and why. Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos’s ratings are spot on as they are two of the most talented players in the league at their positions. I also omitted Matt Carle and his ranking as he is no longer with the organization but was a starter in the beta.įor the most part, these ratings are pretty accurate. The rest of the Lightning’s roster that is missing from this list were listed as scratches and weren’t played in the demo. Now, let’s take a closer look at the players and how they match up against one another. The team as a whole gets its rating based on the overall score of its players. The players receive their rating based on their ratings in 5 categories, skating, shooting, hands, checking, and defense. As a note, I used the ratings available in the online multiplayer mode instead of the individual Hockey Ultimate Team cards for the sake of continuity as not every player on the roster of the Lightning was available.īoth the team and its players are rated on a scale from 0-100. In this preview of the NHL 17 Beta, I’ll go over the Tampa Bay Lightning‘s rating overall as a team, and the ratings of their individual players. I was given my code early with the NHL Insiders and, as you can imagine, I downloaded my copy of the beta as soon as I could. On the 27th, EA Sports sent out the first codes to download the Beta of NHL 17. The recently released beta of NHL 17 gives us our first look at the team and player rankings of the Tampa Bay Lightning
