Biggest Goaltending Bust of all time??

[Soundgarden]

Chet Pickard, 2008 Draft. Stings for Predators fans because he was the pick when the Predators traded down while the Senators traded up for Erik Karlsson. At least Nashville got Josi in the 2nd round.

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.

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.

Tyler Parsons.

Absolute money for the London Knights before going pro and falling down an alt-right conspiracy hole (at least that’s what it sounds like).

Necro-threads rule.

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

 

[VanIslander]

Who's are some highly touted goalies who dominated in junior and AHL and never turned out in the nhl?

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.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

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).

 

[Dread Clawz]

Storr, Fichaud, Chouinard, Waite.

 

[markymarc1215]

Al Montoya, Chet Pickard, Brian Finley, Norm Maracle, Troy Gamble, Thomas McCollum, potentially Spencer Knight

 

[JianYang]

Mika noronen was pretty highly touted from what I recall. He did have some seasons in the nhl but mostly in Europe

Upon a closer look, it seems noronen fell off a cliff right after the year long lockout.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Storr, Fichaud, Chouinard, Waite.

I think we might be of the same generation as that is my list along with Storr, Kidd and Mylls.

Sounds like it, born in '80.

68......so not quite, but the list is similar. I should have added Michele Plasse lol

He's one of the highest scoring goalies of all time though.
