If you want to call them crappy prospects, fine. But at least understand what retread means in this context.

well it seems that we have different definitions of re-treads.
Mine would be guys who have been called up more then once usually around 3 times, and in all three attempts did little to nothing that would lead to hope that this player would be able to preform in the NHL.
Byron was called up what 2-3 times last year and did very little, thus calling him up this year, I would define him as a re-tread.
Nemisz was called up once in each of the last 2 seasons it I am correct and has done absolutely nothing. Thus re-tread.
Different definitions.
