Another three that popped into my head today.
Angelo Esposito, he had huge hype but didn’t he blow out his knees?
Gilbert Brule, typical early Jackets development and I think mental health issues.
Then John McFarland, guy carried minor hockey hype all the way to the NHL draft somehow.
Undrafted free agents? Adam Oates is a famous one back in the day and his success caused a change in the CBA (supplemental draft).
Yup. I remember one of his ads well. Was like 80% just him on the iceUnrelated but he went into politics during the last Canadian federal election (he lost).
Brunnström had size, speed, skill and a hard working attitude. He was described as the next Alfredsson. He had all the potential in the world. Atleast his first season in SHL and NHL. Then something happened with him. Could been a injury or something mental.
And then on the note of older Europeans, Jiri Dopita was often cited as the best player not in the NHL in the late 90's. After Cechmanek had success in Philadelphia, he convinced Dopita to give North America a chance. But it seemed like Dopita (and his wife) never got adjusted.
