Yup, everyone was certain he'd be the next Gretzky/Lemieux. Daigle just had so much natural talent with hockey, he put in so little effort and still managed 20+ goal seasons in the NHL.
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.

His line must really suck, or maybe Ottawa was really bad back then. I can't remember. Those +/- stast are ridiculous. |
Yes Ottawa was that bad in the early - mid 90s, it was an absolute joke.
