@@idontgivetkachuk I’m talking bout Matthew Tkagrabmfbchuk, he’s #19 with flames currently, that Matthew Tkachuk guy has nothing in common with Tkaczuk
You missed a big one...Trevor Kidd. Won a Memorial Cup and 2 gold medals at the WJC in 1990 and 1991. Flames traded up with the Devils to draft him 11th overall. With the Flames pick (20th overall) New Jersey selected Martin Brodeur. This is about as bad as it gets.
Phil Kessel for 2 - 1st rounders and 1 - 2nd rounder IMO was a bigger mistake than trading their 1st round selection for Tom Kurvers. The Bruins ended up with Seguin & Hamilton.
Rask for Raycroft, kessel for seguin and Hamilton, there’s loads of stupid ass trades in the 2000-2010 by leafs that are far worse than not letting a goalie in Pogge who couldn’t even cut it at AHL level play in the NHL he just sucked
Pogge is not a "what if" in the least. The Leafs made a terrible decision by choosing him over Rask. That trade may have cost them a Cup. The only "what if" is the Rask part. Pogge was overrated at that time, and the Leafs had garbage management.
Y’all rly forgot to mention Esposito’s terrible ligament injury. He tore ligaments in both knees and so he was never the same. That’s not failing, that’s a career ending injury
Happy you began with Brendl. He is rarely talked about but I had this vivid memory of the 1999 Draft, he was selected right after Patrick Stefan and the Sedin twins. I had more hype for him than the Sedin brothers, how wrong I was!
A little late to the party but the worst part about Pogge is that (supposedly) boston wanted him for raycroft but the leafs declined and gave them rask instead
No, the worst part is they had 2 elite goalie prospects, and traded (Rask) for another goalie. Typical clueless Toronto Hockey management. Imagine having Ovechkin, Crosby as prospects and trading Ovechkin for Brady Tkachuk. Makes no sense... So, Stupid.
I actually believe Devon Levi will become a very good goaltender in the NHL. His trajectory is the complete opposite of people like Angelo Esposito or Pavel Brendl that regressed as they got older. Levi was playing Junior A hockey for Carleton Place Canadiens a team I have NEVER heard of before in a league I have NEVER heard of before. The outcome of players who come out of nowhere to IMPROVE their game often continue that rise. The hardest workers to improve their game get the best results.
TBH he would've been considered a bust if he had stayed in Toronto... I mean, to any goalie's defense, Toronto didn't exactly had a great defense back in these years, while Boston's was impressive. Rask merely surfed on one of the best defensive in the league and that made his bread-and-butter.. IMHO a very overrated goalie.
You could do an entire video on jr team Canada goalies that didn't make it in the nhl but should have. Corey Hirsch, Trevor Kidd and Manny Legace come to mind. My personal biggest disappointment player from that tournament all time was Ralph Intranuovo in the early 90's for team Canada.
I remember going on the RDS website (the French language counterpart to TSN) and under every article, seeing people commenting that the Canadiens should trade Price while he still has value because Fucale was going to be our saviour. Those deals always seemed to include the Edmonton Oilers, and thank God none of those people are NHL GMs
Yeah but those commenters are mostly idiots and know next to nothing about hockey, they're merely there to complain about the most mundane things ever. Clearly, the comments section at RDS is not a credible source for anything xD
I lived in Barrie from 95 to 05. As a kid my family had half season Tickets for the Colts. Tkachuk was a great captain and leader, showed a lot of class in the community. It was always sad that it didn’t work out in the NHL for him. Also from being an OG Colt, as a fan I wish he was on the 2000 Colts OHL champion team. It seems like a few of the 90s Colts era super stars never worked out in the NHL as players , such as Brian Finley, Sheldon Keefe and Alexandre Volchkov (I remember people bidding crazy numbers on his warm up jersey at a charity auction). I did go to high school with Bryan Little, but that was a different era of Colts hockey.
Surprised you didn’t have Cody Hodgson on this list ... Jesse Pulijaarvi looks like he’s gonna be on this pretty soon too ... I was convinced he would be a superstar
Jesse’s already improved so much if you look at his training camp videos. Edmonton just managed him like a bunch of morons and threw him in rather than being patient with his development.
Pogge was on the 2006 WJC. The 2005 Canada team was absolutely loaded. It’s really confusing to go back and look at these teams cuz despite playing the majority of the tournament in 2005. The team is referenced as 2006.
I remember Pogge was supposed to one in the next generation of elite NHL goalies, in the same conversation as Cory Schneider, Carey Price, Tuuka Rask, etc.
Furcale did end up making it to the NHL this year. He posted a shutout in his 1st career start against Detroit and then only allowed 1 goal against Minnesota in his next start. He would lose to the Bruins in his 3rd start, allowing 4 goals, and was then sent back down. Washington has Vaneck and Samsonov so I don’t know if he’ll get another chance any time soon, at least with the Caps.
while he did have a great WJC, Fucale was also the guy touted for not giving up when letting 5 goals. Unfortunately, in his junior and pro career, he wasn't great at stopping pucks during the course of a season.
This also shows how On top of their shit goalies need to be inorder to crack the rosters or play games in the nhl.. I feel like forwards and Dmen gets a lot more chances but if you screw up once as a goalie you might never get the chance to see the big show again
Tbh I feel like Devon levi will be on this list , he was solid, but Canada's defense was amazing this tournament, and I feel like defense is huge part of goaltending being a goalie myself,
I always remember the amount of goalies drafted via the QMJL touted as the next Roy, almost none made it big in the NHL. Fucale seems to be another failed product of the Roy cloning factory.
Didnt hurt Angelo that in the 05/06 98pt season he played with Radulov who tallied 152pts that year. Then Rads left for the NHL and Esposito fell to 20th in the draft. Multiple knee operations after that kinda screwed him. He was known for his insane skating ability. He was a top figure skating prospect when he was young.
Another one of the failures by Bobby Clarke as GM of the Flyers. Giving away Eric Lindros to the Rangers for basically nothing. Jan Hlavac, Pavel Brendl and Kim Johnsson were barely there long enough for a Zamboni to resurface the ice. None of them made significant contributions to the team.
I love the Big E, but Kim Johnsson had a very respectable career. Considering that he was the last player taken in his draft year and played over 700 NHL games. Hlavac was a selfish player and was gone within his first season. Brendl🙄, dud. Also Lindros wasn't ever going to play for the Flyers again and his injury history was hard to overlook. If you remember he had select teams that he was willing to be traded to, Toronto being his main choice. That limited Clarkes position. I wish they did get a better return. I don't know what other teams were offering, but maybe this was the best offer they had. Another thing to consider with the Flyers and Eric lindros is if they never made that trade and kept what they had.
This video inspired me to look up these guys in older games. Oldest game I got is 2009 Daniel Tkaczuk has an 88 potential but low overall on the German team. Esposito has ok potential. He was part of the Hossa trade. But his wrist shot and also shot accuracy was low. I guess since he can't score in the AHL Grigorenko wasnt too bad in the KHL. He's only in the 2009 game
I actually saw Brendl play with the hit men. Biggest baby you ever saw. If he didn’t get the puck when he wanted he sulked off the ice. I was not even remotely surprised when he didn’t make it.
It took me a while to figure out an excellent performance in the World Juniors was all too often a total non starter in terms of transferring that to the NHL.
Fucale is 3-0 with a .67 gaa and .973 sv% with the Hershey Bears of the AHL so far in the 2020-21 season. Maybe his time is coming soon. He's in a goalie logjam in Washington tho, they already have 2 outstanding young goalies in Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vancenek, plus they have veteran goalie Craig Anderson.
I remember the Pogge incident very well. Not only am I leafs fans, I wasn't instantly enamored by the fact that pogge was canadian and on the winning team at the juniors that year like most other leafs enthusiasts. What blew me away was Tuuka Rask on a highly then underskilled finland team that year that he was single handidly keeping the games close by like making 50 or whatever saves a game. I was super pissed when they traded him and Dougie Hamilton to Boston. And i've never stopped being pissed since about it. It's kind of where I started to lose interest in avidly following every game once Pogge started to show as a bust and I knew we had already had the answer for a goaltender and willingly traded it away. I don't like to take the armchair profressional stance much cause it is pretty pretentious. But that is one situation where my feelings on it were absolutely right, and I was mad to be right about it.
Dougie Hamilton was a first round draft by the Boston Bruins. The pick was part of the Phill Kessel trade, two first round picks and a second round pick. Tuuka Rask was traded away for Andrew Raycroft.
Can you do the opposite, like nhl stars who failed in the world juniors? Cause a lot of people are calling Byfield a bust just because of the world juniors and I want to see other nhl players who panned out after a bad juniors.
The Pogge situation was so disappointing. He was way overhyped and coupled with the fact that everyone was bending over backwards for him didn't help. I felt bad for Pogge. It was alot of pressure on him, but also he was a victim of poor management and terrible training/development
This is why I don't pay much attention to either the World Juniors or the NHL draft. In the latter, it is crazy to watch everyone jump up and down after every selection as if they're already Hall of Famers. The media feed the senseless hype.
How about Bryan Fogarty? Arguably the most talented player ever lived. That is what junior hockey coordinator said: "From the time he put skates on, he was better than everyone else. We had seen Wayne Gretzky. Wayne had to work at it. His game was outsmarting everybody else. Fogarty's game was outperforming everybody else. That's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Corvette." Disclaimer: I am not sure if Fogarty ever played at junior championship if that is the requirement for being included. If yes, I think he deserves a video or at least a mention later on.
@@idontgivetkachuk There are some short footages of him when playing with Habs and Nordiques like this one ruclips.net/video/es03ZMaGp3c/видео.html, but unfortunately none from his junior years.
@@1bert719 dude, nobody was more hyped than Alexander Daigle going into his draft, FACT. He was suppose to be the next Mario Lemieux. Yakupov had 31 pts in 48 games his rookie year.
@@corymac1140 This is true, he's certainly not helped by the depth of the draft around him, with so many HOF talent makes him look worse. The guy can't help what people say about him though and he was pretty decent as a junior. I don't think he failed due to effort, he just wasn't as good as everyone (who should know hockey better than us) expected.
@@1bert719 true, all are very debatable, and all disappointed big time. I was actually surprised how long Daigle played. Stay safe buddy, and Go Leafs Go !!
What the hell happened to Christian Dube? I remember him playing an NHL playoff game right after winning the Memorial Cup, and guy stood out. Only really good hockey players stand out when watching on tv. Then the guy disappeared. The hell?
@@wiseguy3675 Thanks, Wiseguy. I would love to watch or read a piece examining what went wrong. Or maybe nothing went wrong. Who knows? The only thing I am fairly certain of is this guy was an exceptionally gifted hockey player. You know, one of the best no one has ever heard of.
I think way too much pressure out on these young men. Very few can jump to NHL. I think smart path is stay in Junior as long as possible, then AHL to develop more etc then bring up and phase in slowly. But I’m not a GM so what do I know.
Nic Petan: In his last three seasons with the Portland Winterhawks, 322 points in 188 games. At the 2015 World Juniors, 4 goals and 7 assists for 11 points, tied for the tournament lead with Sam Reinhart and some kid named Connor McDavid. I remember being thrilled when the Jets got him 43rd overall in the 2013 draft (he had 120 points in 71 games with Portland that year). A solid point per game guy first with the Manitoba Moose and now with the Toronto Marlies, but, for some reason, he can't seem to have any meaningful impact in the NHL. Still only 25 years old, but the writing seems to be on the wall. Check out his highlight reel from the 2015 World Juniors. Looked very promising: ruclips.net/video/EmMViaQyg1c/видео.html
i remember the habs picking fucale and my dad being a former goalie was so hyped that our team picked him up i on the other hand didnt like the pick knowing the the halifax mooseheads were stacked as hell always thought he would be a bust guess i was right lol but he got me back with ryan mcdonagh and patches didnt like either player i wanted david perron in that draft i was way wrong there lmao 😂
*So what have we learned? More than likely, if you are a forward, who puts up 6 goals and 10 points, in 6/7 games at the WJC, you'll be a flop at the next level. Same with 85% of power forwards. Boggles me, why teams still draft them soo high, while guys like Point, Gaudreau, Debrincat etc, get considered as steals, when its just lack of intelligence for draft choices. Size never copes for overall skill...it especially does not for a smaller player who has the drive to want it more.*
Actually Fucale could earn himself a spot with the caps for this season if he does well at training camp as the backups are still undecided and he’s here
I'd love to see him make it personally! But him being loaned back to the ECHL again is concerning.. I hope he can crack the team and finally get a chance in the NHL!
Thanks sm man!! I’m currently working on a 40 min video set for tmrw ( If I can get my school work done ) It rly means a lot to read something like this! I hope u decide to stick around!
In feel like Devon Levi will be the next on this list, people are over rating him, he's doing good cuz a stacked Canada team is playing in front of him.
Like andrei vasilevskiy isn't good because he has a good team in front of him oh wait, there’s problem in my sentence like there is with yours Levi and Vasy make there teams good
@@iamyou2303 are you seriously comparing the two? Lmao, Levi was a nobody before this tournament and Vasi was a 1st round pick and already established prospect when he played
His success is still worth mentioning however. He scored a huge goal so I wanted ppl to remember who he was more so, hence why he’s in the video. Never wanna see someone’s career be ruined due to injury.
@@idontgivetkachuk his success is worth mentioning and he was on the come up and would have likely been a contributor in Detroit. It really is unfortunate what happened to him.
Another goalie you could argue to put on this list is Jack Campbell. I remember being disappointed every time he was in net against Canada in the WJC bc he seemed unbeatable. And while he's a solid backup now, the first 8 years after he was drafted consisted of 7 total NHL appearances
This took extremely long to make for absolutely no reason.. Just a lot of editing cause When I recorded I messed up aaaalot.. mix of asthma and just stupid mistakes.... incase ya didn’t catch it:

It's kind of where I started to lose interest in avidly following every game once Pogge started to show as a bust and I knew we had already had the answer for a goaltender and willingly traded it away. I don't like to take the armchair profressional stance much cause it is pretty pretentious. But that is one situation where my feelings on it were absolutely right, and I was mad to be right about it.
Rask is remembered fondly here in Tampere🙂one of the best goalies to ever play here. And he’s actually now a minority owner of the team he played in
Dougie Hamilton?
rask was traded for raycroft, waaaay before hamilton was even a prospect!!! clearly you have no idea what you talkin boot
Dougie Hamilton was a first round draft by the Boston Bruins. The pick was part of the Phill Kessel trade, two first round picks and a second round pick. Tuuka Rask was traded away for Andrew Raycroft.
Man, Zach Fucale. That’s a name I haven’t heard of in a while.
Can you do the opposite, like nhl stars who failed in the world juniors? Cause a lot of people are calling Byfield a bust just because of the world juniors and I want to see other nhl players who panned out after a bad juniors.
That’d be interesting
The Pogge situation was so disappointing. He was way overhyped and coupled with the fact that everyone was bending over backwards for him didn't help. I felt bad for Pogge. It was alot of pressure on him, but also he was a victim of poor management and terrible training/development
Fucale getting a go with Caps was nice to see this season
Fucale finally getting a chance
zach fucale is playing in the ahl with the hershey bears and just one the best goalie award
Oh wow! Good for him! Would love to see him make another NHL game
Was that a young Marian Hossa I spotted in the Brendl clip?
I think it may have been Marcel. Pretty sure it was Marian tho!
This is why I don't pay much attention to either the World Juniors or the NHL draft. In the latter, it is crazy to watch everyone jump up and down after every selection as if they're already Hall of Famers. The media feed the senseless hype.
I wish Pogge worked out. After being such a stud in the juniors he really got thrown under the bus.
How about Bryan Fogarty? Arguably the most talented player ever lived. That is what junior hockey coordinator said: "From the time he put skates on, he was better than everyone else. We had seen Wayne Gretzky. Wayne had to work at it. His game was outsmarting everybody else. Fogarty's game was outperforming everybody else. That's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Corvette."
Disclaimer: I am not sure if Fogarty ever played at junior championship if that is the requirement for being included. If yes, I think he deserves a video or at least a mention later on.
I was gonna do a video on him as the biggest what if. But I can’t find any footage of him at all haha.
@@idontgivetkachuk There are some short footages of him when playing with Habs and Nordiques like this one ruclips.net/video/es03ZMaGp3c/видео.html, but unfortunately none from his junior years.
@@volodja99 omg! This is amazing thank you!!
I can’t help but think that I’m watching kto
Oh thanks man!! KTO is my favorite RUclipsr so that rly means a lot!! Hope u enjoyed!!
Glad no Alexandre Daigle, everyone calls him a bust but he didn't do to bad considering his early career points per game stats.
Didn't do bad? Worst 1st overall pick ever.
@@corymac1140 I'd go with Patrik Stefan or Nail Yakupov, Daigle wasn't a great #1 pick but his overall numbers were ok if he'd been picked later.
@@1bert719 dude, nobody was more hyped than Alexander Daigle going into his draft, FACT. He was suppose to be the next Mario Lemieux. Yakupov had 31 pts in 48 games his rookie year.
@@corymac1140 This is true, he's certainly not helped by the depth of the draft around him, with so many HOF talent makes him look worse. The guy can't help what people say about him though and he was pretty decent as a junior. I don't think he failed due to effort, he just wasn't as good as everyone (who should know hockey better than us) expected.
@@1bert719 true, all are very debatable, and all disappointed big time. I was actually surprised how long Daigle played. Stay safe buddy, and Go Leafs Go !!
Nice vid!
Thanks Max!
@@idontgivetkachuk np
I hope Zegras doesn’t become a bust
Me too. He was so fun to watch!!
Didn't Fucale (sic) shutout the Red Wings in his first NHL start this season?
Yessir
I would get Brendl in my nhl games even at 80 overall he would get 80 plus points a season. All talent no work ethic
I agree 💯, wasted talent.
Fucale broke an NHL record this season 😂
Justin Pogge spent his signing bonus on a new car for his mom. That's unselfish behaviour.
GOAT ‼️
6:36 Justin Pogge played at the 2006 World Juniors in Vancouver. Not the 2005 tournament in Grand Forks.
The year was still 2005 tho lol
Pogge, Sparks, and Joseph Woll might be next
Remember Pavel vorobiev?
6:34 it wasn’t the 2005 World Juniors, it was 2006. Jeff Glass was the goalie for Canada in 2005.
Wasnt Matthew tkachuk picked 6th overall by the flames too?
Yup!
What the hell happened to Christian Dube? I remember him playing an NHL playoff game right after winning the Memorial Cup, and guy stood out. Only really good hockey players stand out when watching on tv. Then the guy disappeared. The hell?
Last I heard he was playing in Germany, but that was years ago.
@@wiseguy3675 Thanks, Wiseguy. I would love to watch or read a piece examining what went wrong. Or maybe nothing went wrong. Who knows? The only thing I am fairly certain of is this guy was an exceptionally gifted hockey player. You know, one of the best no one has ever heard of.
Tkaczuk was my teams skating coach lol!
Rask being traded was the best thing for his career and Pogo as my dad called him was ruined from the word go with the Laughs in the earlier years
Well Fucale finally did get a shot in the NHL and in his first start for the Caps, he got a shutout. Honestly good for him.
Yessir!!
I think way too much pressure out on these young men. Very few can jump to NHL. I think smart path is stay in Junior as long as possible, then AHL to develop more etc then bring up and phase in slowly. But I’m not a GM so what do I know.
Anyone else here after Fucale made his NHL debut with the Caps and shut the door?
I’m so happy for him!!
if Fucale was drafted to a different team it woulda been a different story imo
Nic Petan: In his last three seasons with the Portland Winterhawks, 322 points in 188 games. At the 2015 World Juniors, 4 goals and 7 assists for 11 points, tied for the tournament lead with Sam Reinhart and some kid named Connor McDavid. I remember being thrilled when the Jets got him 43rd overall in the 2013 draft (he had 120 points in 71 games with Portland that year). A solid point per game guy first with the Manitoba Moose and now with the Toronto Marlies, but, for some reason, he can't seem to have any meaningful impact in the NHL. Still only 25 years old, but the writing seems to be on the wall. Check out his highlight reel from the 2015 World Juniors. Looked very promising: ruclips.net/video/EmMViaQyg1c/видео.html
i remember the habs picking fucale and my dad being a former goalie was so hyped that our team picked him up i on the other hand didnt like the pick knowing the the halifax mooseheads were stacked as hell always thought he would be a bust guess i was right lol but he got me back with ryan mcdonagh and patches didnt like either player i wanted david perron in that draft i was way wrong there lmao 😂
*So what have we learned? More than likely, if you are a forward, who puts up 6 goals and 10 points, in 6/7 games at the WJC, you'll be a flop at the next level. Same with 85% of power forwards. Boggles me, why teams still draft them soo high, while guys like Point, Gaudreau, Debrincat etc, get considered as steals, when its just lack of intelligence for draft choices. Size never copes for overall skill...it especially does not for a smaller player who has the drive to want it more.*
Actually Fucale could earn himself a spot with the caps for this season if he does well at training camp as the backups are still undecided and he’s here
I'd love to see him make it personally! But him being loaned back to the ECHL again is concerning.. I hope he can crack the team and finally get a chance in the NHL!
I’m hopeful for him also but we’ll see what happens
Naw Craig Anderson has that spot, if not (which would be quite shocking) then Phoenix coply could find a spot again
@@jadenippersiel912 Anderson needs to prove himself as he only has a pto
The quality of this channel is inspiring for the amount of subscribers. I hope you get more subscribers in the future, really love the work.
Thanks sm man!! I’m currently working on a 40 min video set for tmrw ( If I can get my school work done ) It rly means a lot to read something like this! I hope u decide to stick around!
In feel like Devon Levi will be the next on this list, people are over rating him, he's doing good cuz a stacked Canada team is playing in front of him.
Seems like everyone agrees he'll be next on this list haha!
Like andrei vasilevskiy isn't good because he has a good team in front of him oh wait, there’s problem in my sentence like there is with yours Levi and Vasy make there teams good
He definitely has a lot to live up to now
@@iamyou2303 are you seriously comparing the two? Lmao, Levi was a nobody before this tournament and Vasi was a 1st round pick and already established prospect when he played
Grigorenko shouldn't be on here. Everyone and their mother knows that crash killed his career.
His success is still worth mentioning however. He scored a huge goal so I wanted ppl to remember who he was more so, hence why he’s in the video. Never wanna see someone’s career be ruined due to injury.
@@idontgivetkachuk his success is worth mentioning and he was on the come up and would have likely been a contributor in Detroit. It really is unfortunate what happened to him.
can you do a video on jack campbell. he has a pretty interesting backstory.
Is it too early to put Kaapo Kakko on this list or ?
Man oh man!! pavel brendl !! Could skate like the wind compared to being possibly better then bure just didn't work out
Having a serious car accident and injuries just before you first NHL year is just not right!
Another goalie you could argue to put on this list is Jack Campbell. I remember being disappointed every time he was in net against Canada in the WJC bc he seemed unbeatable. And while he's a solid backup now, the first 8 years after he was drafted consisted of 7 total NHL appearances
This didn't age well. Soup for Vezina.
This comment once again did not age well
0:22 Is that Hossa? Like THE Hossa?
Yessir
Obviously there are reasons Fucale played more ECHL games than anywhere else
