Sami Niku had us all hyped for quite a bit.
Burmistrov also had a ton of skill but never panned out.
Jets 1.0: Stu Barnes – Turned into a decent player on other teams. Jets traded him for Randy Gilhen…
Jets 2.0: Sami Niku – Not sure what happened there.
In Jets 1.0, I nominate Iain “Slam” Duncan. He has a great rookie campaign with great speed and good hands, then out on 10-15 pounds heavier, all of that muscle, and never matured as a player.
Nic Petan or Sami Niku
1.0 Kris Draper, 2.0 PL DuBois
Logan Stanley. I remember when he was drafted a lot of people thought he would slot in pretty well since he’s a big body and just needed a season or two to get his skating up to par. Thought he’d pan out like a Tyler Myers but it’s not looking like it anymore.
2.0 Sami Niku, wasted potential. That hair just immaculate to not play in the show.
