If these players outright busted, fine - but they didn’t. All three have left and found more success.

You are looking for a pattern that doesn't exist.
- Juuso's development was de-railed by injuries which severely changed his mobility and skating. He's never been the same player. If he's an NHLer, he's likely a marginal one. 4 point night aside
- Sam is probably the one that could be evaluated as something going wrong
- Tkachuk was a great pick that turned into an elite player. He exercised his rights as a pending free agent to move on to somewhere he preferred to live.
That's it. There's not a greater story here.
