It's very likely we don't draft Josi if we drafted Karlsson, we came into the draft with the mindset of getting a top center, defenseman and Goalie prospect because we were forced to move Vokoun, Hartnell and Timonen.
Biggest Goaltending Bust of all time??

As a Kings fan it is Jamie Storr.
He had an excellent junior career and was drafted 7th overall but was never more than a decent backup.
I would add Jack Campbell to the list. Also great in juniors and also in LA and Toronto but horrible the rest of the way.

There was a reason why went mid 2nd. When you look who was on the knight you have to ask, was it him or the team he played on.
For me a bust is someone who went in the first 20 picks. When you get beyond that point it is a crap shoot

Steve Rexe.
2nd overall in the NHL draft, the first-ever pick by the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise.
Rexe became backup or third-stringer for several international Canadian teams, but never set skate on ice in the NHL, his only claim to fame being an AHL title 8 years after the NHL draft.

Steve Rexe was both the first goaltender selected in the 1967 amateur draft *and* the last goaltender selected in the 1967 amateur draft.
I'll add Ray Martyniuk to the pile (although something tells me that he was probably mentioned pages ago).
