ROOS LETS LOOSE POLL: Biggest draft busts

[Belexus75]

Tough to do without a few more years of these guys. The only ones I'd say are pretty much busts at this point are Baertschi, Perlini and in my opinion probably Ritchie. I added in Fluery and Bennett although I am not totally sure about them just yet. Patrick is a big candidate too but I am just not ready to discard him until we see him healthy, if that day comes.

I think there are pleeeenty of late bloomer candidates on this list.

I actually liked the idea, it's simply projecting the future. No harm in that IMO, it's just for fun and generates some banter.

i think Patrick will be far from the bust if healthy. He played well when he played and i think there is way more to give, however we do not know if he can ever get healthy enough to play. To me only way he is a bust is if he stays injured..

Curious why Nail Yakupov didn't make the list. 1st overall and if he was an option, he'd be my number 1 BUST (:

then do them when you have a good idea. we want better content not more frequent content

As noted in one of my above responses, it is not easy to come up with a poll every month that serves purposes of both being fun and informative. I tried here, but when all was said and done it didn't click as well as the others. I think this is probably something like my 15th poll, so if I misfire at that rate I think I'm doing pretty well all things considered. Also, for what it's worth this one has received among the highesst number of voters, so seemingly it still resonated with a lot of folks.

And your frequency comment is strange, as these run every four weeks. That's the nature of my column - four separate columns that each run once a month.

Sorry this one wasn't to your liking. I hope you continue to give these a read.
