Quoting: mondo
PLD's never been to an all-star game, never received one of the NHL's awards (like Player of the Week, etc), and never been considered for a trophy outside of his rookie year, where he placed eighth in the Calder with 0 first place votes. Let me know what the criteria is for being a star, because it seems like your definition is a little broad.
I'm assuming English is not your first language, so I what I meant was I'd like you to show me (and gavinray) the statistics that indicate Brannstrom is a bust. You're making the claim and should be the one to back it up, because no one is agreeing with you.
Have you heard of Adam Foote or Bryan Rafalski. What about Igor larionov Milan Hedjuk. Ron francis, Rob Brind'amour, JOhn LeClair. Does players warent star i supposed since they didnt win their fair share of trophy.
and for the 10 times already Brannstrom have more chance of beiing a bust then to have a impact in NHL. Not once i have said that Brannstrom was a bust. you can read **** even if english is your first language.
2013 draft : there been on the 30 players selected 11 players that have had a impact when they where on their ELC. on the 19 remaining 5 of them have found success but none of them have turn into a star on their sexond contract and their 14 players that are in the minors, have no contract anymore or are support players.
2015draft : (one of the best draft ever) on 30 players 16 of these players have had a immediate impact on their ELC. on the 14 remaining 6 of them are now with the team and have a moderated impact.
2010draft : on 30 players 7 had established themselve into NHL on their ELC and on the 23 remaining only 2 have turn into a nhl regular and 4 more that have had a moderated career.
so yeah Brannstrom have more chance of beiing a bust then to turn into a NHL regular.
