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

after i got to play goal for heatley a couple summers ago.... looks like the off season routine involved a lot of BEvERages... either that or he was just pushing out his gut so i wouldn't feel bad!! ha! ha!
