I was recently wondering what that big forward Detroit played at the beginning of last year that got a ton of hype was up to, only to see Elmer Soderblom was having a middling season in the AHL after playing 20 games in the NHL last season while garnering a ton of media attention in the process.
It made me wonder, what other prospects have gotten unjust media attention, or hype in recent years. Guys that maybe wern’t busts but didn’t live up to how people talked about them before they made the show.
Another recent guy that I think fits this bill is Arber Xhekaj, he got a ton of media attention when he made the show as an undrafted rookie out of juniors, but he has done nothing but be a staple to the Canadiens third pair while being a defensive liability.
would love to hear your input on this Topic!
