Huh, I'd say it's pretty en vogue to criticize all of their skating amongst figure skating fans...

Yuhana Yokoi
Andrew Torgashev
I think both Yuhana and Andrew will turn senior next season. Yuhana's jumps have such wonderful flow, and I particularly adore her POTO free skate at the Bratislava JGP. If Andrew is able to get his jumps together, I think he could become a real threat on the senior level.
weave poje.... UNDERRATED
I'm with you on this couple. Especially in 2014. Oh, they won silver and that's a major achievement. But with a difference of 0.02 points....gonna edit my earlier post somewhat.

Can I just add:
Jeffrey buttle- While known more as a choreographer he was quite the skater. This performance received a standing ovation and got him a world title and it was just gorgeous. This is his 2008 worlds freeskate to Ararat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypNSQb9heLA
I agree. I always loved his skating. Interesting he has the Oly bronze I think and the World title and called it a day. Same medals as the lovely and amazing Kate Osmond. Canada has given us so many great skaters. Sadly most of the great ones never had the big pro career of the 90’s. And the money that crew of skaters made. None of them have to work like all the skaters nowadays. But at least those who skate elite lay really do it for love as the money isn’t there except maybe in Japan, Korea and perhaps Russia?
Current skaters:
Jin Boyang
Sergei Voronov (is he still skating?)
These are my personal views
Top 5 underrated skaters:
1. Alexander Abt. Beautiful skater, creative both in (mostly his own) choreography and music choices, his own Federation hardly supported him, got no more then Medals at Euros (a bronze and a silver), never at Worlds or Olympics. But just outstanding.
Gubanova and Tarakanova are unfortunately from a fed who rarely reward talent and superior skating. They should move in another country. I don't think their fed will ever care about them.
