On the Cusp
Looking for help on putting together a list of players "on the cusp" of either greatness or failure. Criteria:
1. Widely considered as very promising at the age of 18, 19 and/or 20...but haven't shown a lot several years later.
2. Between the ages of 20 and 26
3. Still has hope of becoming stars - even if that hope is 1%
Off the top of my head (update - adding as you add):
Matthias
Skille
Olesz
Filatov
O'Sullivan
Sheppard
Schremp
Brule
Pogge
Slater
Esposito
Tlusty
Niskanen
Mueller

Not sure if I am the same wavelength.
Caputi, S. Bernier, Hickey, Sheppard, Tangradi, Hensick
What about Greatness or mediocrity..
Frolik, Bergfors, Backlund, Boychuk, Cogliano
Then there are guys like Perreault WSH who might just need a change in scenery.

Goalies: If I'm pickin em you best be sittin em!
Alex plante
Alex Picard the winger
He may be too young but I had high hopes for andrey Kuchin
Brule
Tlusty
Bouchard
Harding
Those come to mind
Within 3 years Turris will be not only be the Winnipeg Coyotes #1 centre, but in the top 10 scorers in the league (mark it down)!
A big "IF", but if . . . Mueller can stay healthy, he will live up to his draft potential.
My opinion, for whatever its worth

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
if turris is on the list i think JVR should make it too. He is having a coming out party this playoffs. He isnt getting the points on the scoreboard that he deserves. He has been the flyers best fwd so far.
