who was the most underrated rookie this year in your opinion?

Wyatt Johnston for me. Guy revived JB’s career, and put up quality numbers without L1 and PP1.
Berggren
Noah C8s
It’s hard to call anyone in Montreal underrated, but Kaiden Guhle looked like he belonged on the top D pair
I feel like Jack Quinn flew fairly under the radar as a solid top 6 goal scoring winger
Dude I don’t think the NHL is ready for Brandt clarke. He’s ranked top 20 in most prospect rankings but i feel he’s much better than that
Seth jarvis
I know he was a Calder nominee, but I feel like after the playoffs, people forget how great Skinner was this past season. He’s on a team that’s had historically bad or mediocre goaltending and defense, and kept this Oilers team practically invincible throughout the last two months of the season. I can only imagine he’s going to get better this year, and I’m concerned as a Kings fan.
I feel like nobody really talked about Tommy Novak much and he was damn near a PPG player.
Kirill Marchenko. Scored 21 goals on a terrible jackets team only playing 59 games. He didn’t deserve the Calder but for sure under rated
Marchenko, Blue Jackets
Jake Sanderson. He’s got all the tools to be an elite two way D man and wont be long until the rest of the league takes notice
Macceli without a doubt
Noah cates

I’m not sure if his age qualifies him, but Kuzmenko did great in his first stint in the NHL.
Perfetti.
Unfortunately he got injured and sat out a good portion of the season.
