Why is Aleksander Barkov frequently referred to as "underrated"? A career-high 39 goals were scored by the twenty-seven year old centre in the 2021�22 season, making him as excellent as they come at the centre position. He has played in nine seasons in the league and has had five seasons with 60 or more points.
With 39 goals and 49 assists for a total of 88 points at the end of the season, Barkov has decided to contribute money to a charity, but the circumstances behind the decision are bizarre.

$1,600 for each goal? 39 goals would equate up to more than $62,000 USD, which is incredible considering Barkov scored 39 goals last season and shows no signs of slowing down.
$800 for each assist? Even better, Barkov racked up 49 assists last season, which works up to more than $39,200 USD. He does this in a dominant manner most nights.
Bravo, Barkov�you're a gentleman!
