I'm with dammage on this one. Busts are guys that didn't turn into solid NHLers. Yashin was not a bust. Guys like Tkaczuk and Fata were. Scott Scissons, Brendl, Svitov, Chistov.
You could call a guy like Yashin a disappointment given his draft position but he's not a pure bust. I guess you could argue there's a continuum but then we'd have to start defining that.
