ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Nolan Patrick is one of the league’s most unlucky players. Dude can’t catch a break. Hope he gets signed soon.
2Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Though he’s been good in the AHL, Andersson’s game seems to never translate to quality NHL play.
3Logo of the Dallas Stars-
Cal Foote (+11 )
Hasn’t really developed, and is more of a 6-8 defenseman at this point of his career.
4Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-Although he’s been a bit better than he’s been in the past few years, I’m still not completely sold on Brannstrom.
5Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-why
6Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-He’s in Europe now, so I guess he’s a bust. Seemed like he never got enough time to prove himself in the NHL.
7Logo of the New York RangersLogo of the Arizona CoyotesHad a killer first career game and has sorta disappeared since.
8Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-I don’t even know where this dude is playing now. Bust.
9Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-
Kole Lind (+24 )
Still yet to make an impact in the NHL.
10Logo of the Florida Panthers-Probably the least accomplished player on this list, except for maybe Urho and Bowers. Where is this guy even playing now?

How is Poehling a bust ? He is a full time NHLer
Cody Glass should be on that list over him

I can agree on all of these except your explanation on Vesalainen is technically wrong.

Yes, he's in Europe, but as a Jets fan, he had so many opportunities and games to prove himself. Had zero effort defensively and his offense didn't translate into the NHL.

Thanks. I didn’t know very much about him.

Poehling has carved out a decent career, he's had a good year with Philly so far, probably earns a contract extension.

Urho is a solid defensive type to me. Boston did him dirty and injuries ha ent done him any favors, either. He could end up one of those late bloomers, like Forsling.
