I always felt that Richie Regehr could have been a pretty good NHLer if he didn't start having concussion issues. For a while it seemed like he and Giordano were on par with each other, and while he may have never became the complete player that Giordano did, I was really rooting for him.

Same thing with Daniel Tkaczuk. He seemed to be advancing quite well until the concussion derailed his career.

Might as well add Krahn to the list. Another decent prospect ruined by injuries. Seemed like a good guy and he didn't give up for a long time even trying to go with 2 blockers instead of a glove because of his hand injury.
