Can someone refresh my memory? I know, obviously, about the car accident, but his best years were still ahead of him (literally) after that happened.
Then he just sort of started to collapse before his 30th birthday. Just going by his stats, he really only had one bad "injury" year. What happened?
Maybe I just bought into the hype at the time, but this guy seemed like a lock for 500 goals and a HoF career at one point.
Also, kinda of strange to look at what the top 5 that 2000 draft turned out to be.
Dipietro - worst contract in history
Heatley - weird career all around
Gaborik - too fast for own groin
Klesla - injuries and disappointment
Torres - a dirty player for half the teams in the league
