The NHL is the toughest hockey league in the entire world, and even with all the hype in the world, some top prospects can never quite live up to their hype at the top level. <h2>A major bust</h2> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/297272.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Right now, it's hard to describe Nolan Patrick as anything but a bust after being picked with the No. 2 overall pick back in the 2017 NHL Draft, but at 24-years of age, he's clearly not ready to give up on his dreams.
