- Wwll, maybe not underrated, but definately "out of sight, out of
- mind." A lot of people, when asked who the best defensemen in the
- league are, forget about Stevens. Everybody thinks of Bourque, Leetch
- (who is over-rated, especially defensively, in my book), Iafrate, etc.,
- but Stevens is forgotten. Part of this problem is that he is not
- flashy, and doesn't score a pantload of goals. Also consider that he
- has played in Washington, St. Louis, and New Jersey, not exactly the
- best places to play in terms of media coverage. Of them all, New
- Jersey, being in the New York metropolitan area, has the highest level
- of media coverage, but the Devils are the odd men out-- the Rangers get
- all the NY press.
