Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Who Am I?

Just for fun, this is reprinted from a Hockey's Future article of a number of years ago, and modified slightly by yours truly to implement a veil of secrecy:

_______  ______ (1st round, FLA top-ten pick):  Originally touted as a speedy defensive forward in the mold of a "Federov" type player, the young ______  ______ was also very much a NHL ready forward whose attention to defense helped him make the jump right away (.)

 

______’s career as a Panther (is) one of promise, but he continuously tease(s) fans and management with his inability to finish on the majority of his goal-scoring chances. Countless breakaways (are) denied over and over, and he (has) never been able to get over the (sub-20) goal mark with Florida. His speed made him valuable though in a fore-checking role and ______ (spends) most of his time on the third line.

 So who is it? I'll produce the link this evening...a great read!

Gotta be Dvorak...

Or maybe Rob Neidermayer. But my vote is Dvorak.

I’m going with the 7th overall pick in the 2004 draft… Rostislav Olesz!

My vote is Olesz

First player that came to my mind is Dvorak

Could be Olesz, but the breakaway part is all Dvorak

Here ya go...I would have thought Rusty as well...

However, DVo be the man in this case. Funny how they parallel each other so wildly.

And read the article, written by Mark Fischel just prior to the 2002 Draft Lottery. Fascinating stuff.

Rusty never has had speed like Dvorak had in his younger years. But they certainly parallel each other with the scoring touch, no question :)

Man is it depressing to read all of those names. The ghosts of season’s past…
