Taking a look at who's overrated and who's underrated in Hut 17 coins

NHL 17 Coins set to begin in just below a week with preseason games, we take a look at how the Flames rank according to EA Sports.

EA Sports, the makers of NHL 17 annually release their most recent edition with the video game series every September shortly before coaching camps, permitting for fans to get excited for the upcoming hockey season.

Final season, the Flames who have been fresh off their improbable season received quite high rankings within the team categories with an 89 on offence, 93 on defence (tied for league finest), and an 87 in goaltending. I'd envision that by season's end the goaltending ranking was likely hovering near 60, if EA was feeling generous.

This year, EA was a lot more realistic and gave the Flames reduced numbers in all categories. The offence ranking dropped to an 87, the defence is still pretty higher but down to a 92, along with the goaltending dropped to an 86 despite the addition of two solid netminders.

Okay, so let's just disregard this lineup as a whole because it clearly hasn't been updated adequate as quite a few of these players are now gone.

The only ratings here that surprise me are Hunter Shinkaruk, Tyler Wotherspoon, and Jon Gillies. Personally, I think all of them deserve at the least three or four points higher. Besides them, this lineup is abysmally wrong.

There happen to be some excellent testimonials thus far for NHL 17 and for all those willing to shell out $90 and days worth of their time for you to play the game, pleased gaming to you.

Do you believe these ratings are also high, too low, terrible? Inform us how you really feel inside the comments and how you consider the Flames lineup will appear in comparison to this in 2016-17. The initial preseason game is September 26 Click Here!
