Bibeau's fall from grace is disappointing.
I had really high hopes for this kid. His M-Cup year was amazing. Hope he battles through and ekes out a career somewhere.
Such is the way of prospects.
Bibeau goes from QMJHL playoff MVP on the way to the Mem Cup and seen as promising draft pick and prospect and 3 years later Leafs are cutting him loose, feeling he isn't worth any more time and development cost invested and a 1/50 contracts.
Moral of the story is all prospects are suspects until proven otherwise. A good junior career is not a guarantee beyond that point.
