To me, there's a difference between players would could not live up to their expectations and a player who, due to health issues, didn't get the chance to. We'll never know what Patrick could have done had he been healthy but we know what a healthy Daigle & Yakupov did.

Patrick was a really good player for the Wheaties.... injuries just derailed what would have been a productive NHL career. BIG difference between him and guys like Daigle, Yak and PoolParty...
December 20, 20231 yr comment_682012 Id agree with those saying theres a difference between guys who got years in the league vs a guy who might have got 1 full season due to injuries and other issues. Patrick was a good player, perhaps taken a bit earlier in the draft than he should have been though. Edited December 20, 20231 yr by Goalie
December 20, 20231 yr comment_682022 I thought Patrick was healthy and bombed and then was hurt/unhealthy and traded and fizzled out? He did play 70+ games in his first two seasons and I do remember the chatter being him being a huge bust early on. Either way unfortunate.

Either way unfortunate. he had injury problems going back to his Brandon time and there was talk at that draft about how much it would affect his draft ranking...

Yes, which is why he was a risky pick. But, the talent was there, it was just his body that gave out. Too bad for a kid that was in line to be an elite centre at the NHL level.
December 20, 20231 yr comment_682036 I remember thinking at the time that he was going to be like Ryan Nugent Hopkins. Not a "generational" player, but a VERY good Top 6 C in the NHL....
December 21, 20231 yr comment_682040 Would someone like Laine be considered a disappointment even though he has put up good numbers?

He might respond positively coming back here now that Wheeler is gone. as a fan, I'd be open to that.

April 11, 20241 yr Author comment_692900 Nikolai Khabibulin has retired for a second time. He retired from the NHL in 2014 and went on to become the goaltender coach for the KHL's Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. On December 27th, 2023, Khabibulin un-retired to play goal for Torpedo at age 50. He announced today he's finally hanging up his playing skates for good.
