Answer 2

Does selling one of your best draft picks count? Joe Thornton being traded to San Jose. Still regretted to this day!

Answer 3

I'd have to say that Alexandre Daigle is the biggest NHL draft bust ever. I feel bad for Ottawa Senators fans right now, it must feel bad drafting someone like that. First overall picks don't come around very often!

Answer 4

Eric the not so great 88.

The Nordiques/Avalanche are still living off him not going to Quebec...

Answer 5

^^^I guess if your in the top 5 in Points per game in history and winner of the Hart trophy thats a bust?

Daigle and Brian Lawton are bad busts.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Daigle or Falloon

Answer 8

Konstantin Koltsov

Answer 9

This guy had a sensational nhl career for someone drafted #2 overall .. all that time in Europe gave him time to down a couple beers - and thank Islanders mgt for all that $ .. I am not sure if the link will appear but click on it it should take you to his NHL stats (in the minors he did pretty good though .. which goes to show the immense talent required just to reach the big show)

ps after the << 3? >> add ..

pid-989

hope it works .. I got a good laugh (and a tear in my beer) as I had invested in far too many of his rookie cards .. as I had been told he was gonna be the next Mike Bossy
