Lowetide has been putting together all sort of excellent little snippets that I've really been enjoying this week -- the latest being a look into the past at the future of Radek Dvorak:
In 1995, the scouting report on Radek Dvorak went like this: Excellent, fast skater with good balance and acceleration. A natural, gifted scorer with a wide selection of shots. Goes for the net, is cool and clever and effective in his offensive game.[...]
Excellent hockey sense and very good attitude.

Would you say he delivered on that promise?
From the 2006-07 TSN scouting report:
Assets: Is extremely fast on skates and has terrific penalty-killing skills. Can set up his linemates or take the play to the outside with aplomb.Flaws: Is not an elite goal-scorer. Tends to go into prolonged scoring droughts. More was expected out of him, but his potential may have already tapped out.
I guess the answer would be no.
