RETIRED Dave Chyzowski is generally recognized as a draft bust, as he only played 126 NHL games between 1989 and 1995, scoring a mere 31 points. He was chosen ahead of fellow first round picks Bill Guerin, Stu Barnes, and Bobby Holik. Chyzowski spent his career with the Islanders and then the Chicago Blackhawks. While Chyzwoski did not have an impact at the NHL level, he did carve out a nice career in the minor leagues, particularly the AHL and IHL. His best minor league season was 95–96, when he had 83 points on 44 goals and 39 assists, along with 160 penalty minutes for Adirondack Red Wings.
