    Hishon. Concussions derailed what could have been something special.

  2. Kariya and Selanne kind of fizzled like a fart in the wind. It sucked because I like both layers. 

  3. Nowaymybad

    I would say Peter Forsberg because of the injuries.

  4. Steve Moore. I know what happened to him wasn’t his fault. But his career was ended in a horrible way.

  5. I got enough backing on “overrated” that I guess I’ll toss Jost out there. 10th overall pick turned 4th liner/bubble guy? Loved him, but it really feels like he never panned out for us.

  6. Jose Theadore played for us for a bit. Just reminding the class.

    Nail Yakupov, though that’s more or less his whole sad history

    Stefan Elliot he was a big reason why we traded Kevin shattenkirk. Him and Barrie were supposed to be an elite duo and also Tyson Jost

  9. For Avs or in general? Because if it’s only for the Avs I would say Kariya and Selanne. We were supposed to be a star team and lost to San Jose in the second round. I’d throw that in as wasted potential.

  10. Val doesn’t qualify for this category. When his time with the Avs is over, we can reflect.

    Otherwise, this is an emotional response. Highly illogical.

    Everyone saying Val?

    Dude exceeded his potential with us lmao.

    Sadly Teemu Selänne

    He had one of his statistically worst seasons with the avs getting 32pts in 78 games.. then next year he gets 90 pts in 80 games and 94pts in 82 games the year after with the Ducks while winning the cup

    he had potential to be a 90+ pt player here but never realized it with us

    I still love him though. I remember when he and Kariya decided to join the avs to win a cup together. I was so excited
