Pretty much. He was a pure sniper in the minors, and he had star charisma and looks. Unfortunately he didn't really care about hockey, and just rode on his natural talent in an attempt to be a star. He cared more about being a star than a good hockey player. He attempted 2 comebacks but those failed. He ended up playing in Europe before retiring. Posted via RS Mobile | |

He didn't need to work for his money either.
He got offered 12.25mil for 5 years right off the bat,
before the rookie salary cap existed.
I think Patrik Stefan was probably a better pick...
but partially was because Stefan's career was much shorter, and he had less time to embarrass himself.
(although everyone remembers how he missed the empty net point blank)  I just realized Daigle's first 4 seasons with Ottawa, he was -45, -22, -30, -33
His line must really suck, or maybe Ottawa was really bad back then. I can't remember. Those +/- stast are ridiculous.

I remember after he was done in the NHL he gave an interview where he admitted he didn't actually like playing hockey and just did it for the money. He used his NHL money to start a film production company and attempted a career in acting that didn't go so well. Daigle was more interested in dating Hollywood actresses and trying to be an actor than in playing hockey. What a waste of talent. Quote:

Speaking of ex-NHLers, I heard somewhere that Anson Carter was putting together a group to buy the Atlanta Trashers before they moved to the Peg.
Anyone know what he has done with his career? Last I heard was that he founded a music label and has signed some really big artists and doing really well for himself?

Winnipeg will announce the name of their team before they make their pick tonight.
I thought I was going to have hockey withdrawal, but yesterday was pretty exciting, and the anticipation for July 1st being around corner, I'm good for the next week.

There's no hype to this year's draft. Doesn't seem to be any big superstars this year.

the old one was fine. the home jersey is way too bright. color pattern on the away jersey looks similar to the ducks one.

I like the new logo, but I don't like the lines across the numbers (fucken guitar strings), or the little "Nashville" in the corner.
Here's the new logo, those jerseys may not be the final version. The logo is: 
I also want to see what kind of crazy trades happen.. like Philly WTF?

I didn't mind the Pred's Alternate. Its too bad they barely used it during the season. Anything that doesn't have the mustard colour is  in my books.  | |

Check out number 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_NHL_Entry_Draft
But yea Ottawa sucked hard. But I think that was only their second year. It was awesome back then cause if you could pick a game that Ottawa won, Sports Action was offering 8.00+ odds.
