Good promising players that have disappeared?

[TheOtherScott]

Cory Conacher. Fairly impressive rookie performance in Tampa, traded for Ben Bishop at the deadline, since moved from Ottawa to Buffalo to the Islanders, and then put on waivers this week.

Kirill Kabanov... Islanders pick his "attitude" issues made him fall out of the first round back then

cheechoo and setoguchi shouldn't count weren't necessarily "young and promising" players. simply products of playing alongside thornton

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Jonathan Blum

Jacob Markstrom had a legendary game in Montreal one night and hasn't done anything in the NHL since.

Wait has Cody Hodgson been mentioned yet? Still early to tell I guess, but he's starting to fade.

 

[Butcher]

Jacob Markstrom had a legendary game in Montreal one night and hasn't done anything in the NHL since.

Still youngish for a goalie and is a work in progress. He nearly set the AHL record for time in net without a goal allowed early this year and is currently 3rd in save % at 0.937. I would not be surprised to see him back in the NHL next year or the year after.

 

[WiscMNwildfan]

The first two that come to mind are Seto, Latendresse, and Skoula. I thought Skoula would have turned out well in Colorado but his career went downhill after he left there. Skoula had a good start in the KHL but is now injured or benched in the Czech Extraliga.

 

[Jot]

Ian White?

Agree on Setoguchi, not on Cheechoo. Before Jumbo came to San Jose, he had a 28 goal season on the 3rd line with Mike Ricci and Scott Thornton.

And while playing with Jumbo definitly helped, he still was a great player himself. Check out a video of all of his goals from the rocket season and you will find some sick individual efforts... Wheels came off 2,5 seasons later.

I miss Moller.

 

[Satastic]

I miss Moller.

What happened to him? I thought he looked promising

 

[NYI365]

Alex Frolov.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Had high hopes for Filatov. Nope.

 

[Passchendaele]

Patrice Cormier

This one blows my mind. He was supposedly as safe a pick as one can be. He was virtually a lock to be a solid checking forward in the NHL.
