He was a very promising pick coming off a great world junior performance, in fact he was named to the tournament's 1st team All-Star Team. It's a shame that a heart condition kept him from every playing in the NHL.<br /><br />I'd argue Eric Fichaud was a bigger bust than Cereda. A first round goalie who played all of 95 games with four different NHL teams. <br /><br />One guy never had a chance because of his health, the other because of lack of talent.MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.com
