This one is so obviously Brabant. Did Nemisz ever have a licensed lego character? No. Brabant did somehow.

Neimisz is probably going to win, so I voted for Van Brabant to give him a solid chance for 2nd place.

I was at the game in Toronto that Van Brabant played. So... him.

Nemisz was drafted in the era when Flames GM/scouting draft preferences were driven by “size trumps skill”.

I thought it was "You can teach skills, but you can't teach size."

Yeah I am still perplexed by the decision to give van Brabant his own Lego minifigure. I guess the Flames weren't particularly marketable then.

Nemisz is pulling away from BVB faster than he pulled away from the NHL.

I think from about mid-40's onwards, the numbers become like a black hole where it becomes inter-galactic space from mid-50's onward.

I remember yelling at the tv not to draft Nemisz, but knowing it was inevitable. My non-Flames fans consoling me and me becoming irate as Ennis and Carlson go immediately after the big bust.

Nemisz reminds me of a battleship or some Star Trek starship.

Painful bust versus undrafted kid who battled for a brief handful of games in the NHL. Going Van Brabant here I think.

BVB for me, I liked his stint when he was given the chance.
