The draft is a time of great optimism. It's important to remember that draft picks "fail" more often than they succeed.
Dallas Stars former first round pick Scott Glennie is soon going to be just former Dallas Star. The Stars announced that they are not going to tender Glennie a contract before the deadline making him an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. His story is a common one, and on the day of the first round of the NHL draft a good one to remember. First round picks, no matter how highly rated, don't always work out.
