Pavel Brendl a very high rangers draft pick i believe #2 overall all this potential and talent and was projected to be a very prolific scorrer in the nhl and attitude problems kept him from ever reaching that potential

Michel Briere a close second.

Last time I heard about him was a year or 2 ago. He was playing in the Senior A league for the Allan Cup.
nomorekids said:he was picked, what? 2 overall? i think he had concussion problems, but prior to that, was a pretty decent sniper. he was never really the same after some of his injuries.
Coffey77 said:He picked around there. He was a decent player but he didn't match the hype. Not sure if injuries played a huge role in that or not.

Drafted by the Rangers in the 1st round in 1997. Put up great numbers in the WHL and was supposed to become a surefire top line forward. Then one night in Hartford he sustained a freak knee injury and never recovered. Missed almost two seasons, tried to make a recovery, but finally retired in 2000.
Law Dawg said:Nah, Falloon didn't suffer any major injuries, he just faded away. Spent some time in Europe as well I believe. He just couldn't hold down an NHL job, not an injury problem at all .....
turnbuckle said:The most tragic example has been missed by all of you, although I suspect it's because the majority of you aren't very old.
Law Dawg said:Not so sure if he qualified as a prospect anymore, but one time Leaf and Flame Nikolai Borchevsky was going to be one hell of a player till a serious knee injury made him give away the game .....
Flames Draft Watcher said:How about the Flames 1st rounder in '96, George Pelawa? Died before playing pro hockey.
SensGuy said:Yep, I saw the Sportscenter bit on him. Isn't he still alive?
