The over hyped dude that Ottawa took first overall back in the mid '90's.
Don't remember his name.

- Top 5 picks who don't reach 500
- First rounders who don't reach 200
Super-bust
- Player fails to reach 100
Wash-out
- Player fails to reach 10

Top 3/5 picks (fwds) probably need a ppg associated with them
I'd consider a top 3 fwd that can't average more than half a point per game to be a bust notwithstanding games played
Defence would be different obviously

Really depends on the player, what their skills are tabled as, and where they end up.
Bennett will definitely reach 500 games over his career, and probably even the 700. 700 games as a 3rd line winger however is still bust-y compared to the 1st line center we believed he would be.

I think it is a top 10 who really doesn't make the show. I can think of a ton of players (especially D) that get drafted top 10 and then never make it.
We all know about Daigle and Fata etc but what about more recent guys?
2012
Yakupov
Reinhart
Pouilot
Koekkoek
2013
Samuel Morin (had to use his full name)
2014
Michael Dal Colle
Haydn Fleury (bubble bust)
2016
Olli Juolevi (too soon?)
You get my point.

Actually he is right!
I bet more people will remember Daigle as a 1st overall bust than Chris Pronger being taken 2nd overall that year...
