I...am your father.
Default 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
Turris
Gilbert
Cogliano
Zherdev
Wolski
Tim Kennedy
Moller
Earl
B. Pouliot
Brunnstrom
Hensick
Legein
Tikhonov
Lupul
Gustavsson
Frolik
Caputi
Hickey
Sheppard
Hensick
Bergfors
Backlund
Cogliano
Kindl
Hanzal
Bailey

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.

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
