He went downhill after leaving Calgary but that isn't a bust. A bust is a hyped player that doesn't live up to the hype like a certain other Fleury that IRALB will give me bad rep for a third time over :lick:
I would say Chris Phillips has never lived up to his first pick in the 96 NHL draft. Actually Berard has never really lived up to being a first pick either. Ottawa have a pretty bad history of who they pick first overall.
Then Rick Nash is in danger of becoming a bust. His injuries this early in his career are not good. Ends up injured in the pre-season, returns and aggravates that injury, returns again and ends up with a different injury....... I mean his conditioning has to be pretty awful or something. And despite the fact that he tied for the Maurice Rocket Richard trophy he didn't have a good season since he only had 16 assists to go along with that. To be fair his supporting cast wasn't that amazing but it still ends up making his stats not that great.
Then looking back further Brian Lawton has to be one of the worst busts in NHL history. Best NHL season ended up being 44 points.
