Yeah, possible. What do you think of him, BTW?
I thought he had potential as a solid role player the couple of times I have seen him over the years. Can't say I was high on him but I liked his style. And I could really see why the Devils in particular would pick him, because I saw some potential for him to work well in New-Jersey.
He's far from a sure thing, though, and maybe he's been hyped as something he is not.

Miller and Jason Lababera are the same age. Why is it that Lababera is considered a career AHLer and Miller a future NHL star?

99 drafted. He just turned 25 a few days ago. Really not that unusual for goaltenders.

I'd say Paul Bissonette or Nemec. Bissonette was the 11th rated prospect in the pens pole, but i don't know if he'll be anything more than a 5-7 Dman. He had a great camp and people seem to overrate him since. Also Nemec i don't think we'll see in the NHL. I don't know if he'll be over here and i just don't see much of a future for him. He was 19th in the pens prospect pole btw
Stefan Ruzicka. Is a great sniper at the minor league level but I'm iffy on him. There's been times where he has been a healthy scratch because his defensive play has faultered, doesn't distribute the puck well enough, or just doesn't show up willing to play. He's got the right tools but needs to bring it all together or else he'll be back in Slovakia.

Soooo glad I can't say him anymore... For the Caps, I think management overrates Yonkman the most. I think everyone else overestimates Max 1 (ie Oulette)

For the Oilers I'd say Jeff Woywitka. Everyone sees him as a top 4 type of a guy, I'd be happy to see him as our #5 guy in the next 2 years!!!
Kyle Wanvig for the Wild. Well, maybe everyone has given up on him, so maybe not overrated anymore.
This may sound stupid but I'd say Dion Phaneuf for the Flames.
The expectations for this guy are insane right now. He's being called the "next great d-man" by media outlets, Flames fans and fans of other clubs. I'm not saying that he won't be good (I can easily see him as a top pair d-man down the line), but I just don't know if he can live up to all the hype he's getting right now.

Just a rebuttal, but if I have someone who is a pure goal scorer, I'm not worried about him playing D. I want him to put the puck in the net. It's about time the NHL comes back to the days of the goal scorer, the playmaker, the net driver and not the "two way forward who plays a great defensive game" type of crap that we've watched for years.

As a Stars fan also, I nominate Shawn Belle. Daley maybe not be a number one or two but he is gonna at least have a home on an nhl teams powerplay. I have a strong feeling belle will be a complete bust and will be out of the league before he hits 25Chaos said:

For the Lightning maybe Eero Somervuori, he was picked to win the Calder in 2003 by a few members of the media.
If he doesn't count as a prospect then I don't think we have many overrated ones considering alot of people can't name more than one or two prospects in our system.

For Kings i'd have to go with Grebeshkov. Based on potential sure ya he can be amazing but he really hasn't showed much and cant count the games he lost for the Monarchs this year with the constant turnovers..... He also failed to score on a system based purelly around him really sad yet i thik he still has time is young but i think he is overrated right now
Caps:
Steve Eminger. He is an all around guy but just does not seem to be rapidly improving. He just seems to fall short.
