Kasperi Braulin, born who the hell cares in some random country somewhere near Russia probably, was a goalie for the Vancouver Whalers who blew it! Braulin was quickly thrusted into the starting position after the great Daco suspension of season 48, and seemingly had the league in the palm of his hands. After guiding his team to a four star cup win, his career was derailed in a terrible third season. Not only did he perform way below expectations, the team as a whole took a hit and Kasperi’s stock dropped quick. After securing a future role with the West Kendall Platoon, Braulin seemingly lost the desire to play the game in North America. As many great Europeans have done, Braulin up and left and returned to Russia, never to be seen in the SHL again. What started out as a sure fire great career, ended in an instant and a potential hall of famed was lost to the grasps of Mother Russia. Twelve seasons later, that bum is retired and works as a scout or something dumb. What a waste!
