And even when you put it that way, it's still an understatement

db23 said:Still, the top AHL goalies had averages under 2 per game. I think, there was about 10 of them under 2 per game. Their Save % were up around .930 to .950. So Pascal was near the bottom in both categories. The other thing is (not meaning to be cruel) he just LOOKS like he was born to lose. Every picture I've seen of him looks like a mug shot of a suspected car thief who is supporting a drug habit.

db23 said:...well, someone has to win the award. Just like someone has to end up with the Queen of Spades. Everyone looks for reasons that their guy shouldn't get it. "They changed his style, they changed his pads, his grandfather died, whatever.......".
Once you have to come up with all sorts of reasons why the guy isn't succeeding it is usually a good sign that he deserves the "honour".

ducksflytogether said:Upshall has been very good as a rookie in the AHL, Chistov had a bad soph season, but there's definetely a worse bust from 2001(here's looking at you, Svitov)
2001: Alexander Svitov

db23 said:One thing that most of the "Bonnie" winners shared in common is that in the year following the draft they did not improve their stats or move up a level of competition. From that you can get an idea of which of the newer candidates is legitimate. From 2001, Leclaire never improved his stats in the Q. Actually they got worse each year. He has never posted a GA average under 3 at any level. From 2002, Nystrom's stats at the U of M have gotten worse each year that he has been there. From 2003, Kastitsyn hasn't improved at all in the RSL and actually was demoted a couple of level's for most of the year. So they are my picks.
They were probably cursing up a storm when he fell off the draft table. Man, what a terrible run of drafting. It really makes me cringe.db23 said:Yeah, but you know the Oilers would have taken him if he was available.

2002-Petr Taticek
2003-Robert Nillson
He will be a bust? Thats news to me.LemonDrop_27 said:2004 Jason Bonsignore winner, Robbie Schremp. no doubt about it!
Marmax said:Since you arrival on these board I have been impressed by your lack of hockey knowledge and your crappy posts. You act like you were holding the truth while you obviously don't have a clue of what you are talking about. I would go as far to say that you have probably never see one of those guy that you label as bust. Kastitsyn doesn't have a pro contract yet and you are already calling him a bust. I mean what Thomas Vanek, Braydon Coburn, Hugh Jessiman or Michalek have done more this year than Kastitsyn? Squat. Still, they are good prospects. I would also add that Pascal Leclaire, Peter Taticek and Eric Nystrom are, IMO, far from reaching the "Bust" status. It isn't because high first rounders don't hit the NHL right away that they are bust.
