G Jake Oettinger - Boston University, NCAA (2017, 26th, DAL)

[Mr Hockey]

Leafs got Woll at #62 last year, I consider Oettinger and Woll equal...overhyping?

You need to calm your hype there. Woll is no where near Oettinger.

Oettinger's potential is through the roof, Woll is just your average goalie prospect. Don't be like dis

You sure about that, they are both 98 birthdays and Woll played in the WJU20 while Oettinger was the 3rd string.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

As an Avs fan: You already have Colton Point and I'd rather you don't get another goalie prospect I like in your system.

We need all the goalies we can get, they haven't been panning out for the past while.

I think it's pretty ridiculous at face value, but they're only about 6 months apart in age and Woll did have a pretty good season. Oettinger had a SV% 14 points higher than that of Woll's, but BU was STACKED this season, especially on defense. They certainly aren't "the same", but I'd say they're closer than you might think.

And while I don't think the opinion of Team USA is the be-all and end-all, but they did pick Woll over Oettinger just a few months ago.

 

[93LEAFS]

Woll and Oettinger are quite close, the big thing is, Oettinger has a year of proof above the USNTDP which raises his stock and its a weaker draft.

I don't think he makes it past St Louis's 2nd first.

They were equal at the USNTDP and Oettinger didn't massively outplay Woll this year. Woll is more athletic, while Oettinger is more positionally sound.

 

[MMC]

Welcome to Dallas!

 

[Killerjas]

What's his potential? Starter or Elite starter?

What's his potential? Starter or Elite starter?

At this point, starter. Potential seemed higher before this season.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Made 14 saves in OT yesterday to beat Boston College, follows it up with a shutout against Providence to win Hockey East.

 

[Whalers Fan]

He should have been the starter for Team USA in the 2018 U20 WJC instead of Woll.

 

[jballa95]

Made 14 saves in OT yesterday to beat Boston College, follows it up with a shutout against Providence to win Hockey East.

He was named 2018 Hockey East Tournament MVP with a record of 4-0, Save % of .931, and a GAA of 1.85.

Yea the goalie usage still doesn't make any sense to me at the WJC.

 

[Rogie21]

Oettinger had an uneven first semester, fighting the puck on some night. But was the main reason BU finished 13-3-3.

 

[pckstpr31]

Looked really good in the semis/finals. Really composed.

 

[Kcb12345]

Looked really good in the semis/finals. Really composed.

That's one of the biggest things I noticed about him when watching him play. His calmness in net reminds me of Carey Price

I remember him drawing a lot of comparisons to Price pre-draft (style-wise of course)

 

[TMLeafs18]

Is it just me or is Point firmly ahead of Oettinger at this point. From the my limited viewings which consist of world juniors and only a couple of NCAA games from each Point has looked amazing and to me Oettinger wasn’t very good. Any Dallas fans care to comment that would have more insight?

 

[Bhrangerfan0809]

.924 SV% and 2.59 GAA so far this year at Boston U

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't know why this guy's stock fell so much last season. He's always been really good, and had a slight down season for a team that struggled at the beginning of last year. His play wasn't even that bad by the end of the season. His final SV% was .915, which is respectable. I still think he was worth a first round pick.

 

[greasysnapper]

Considering the team in front of him he's playing lights out. Buch is right he probably shouldn't have had his stock lowered last season but it was, however this year I think he's right back to being a top 5 goalie prospect. In fact I would probably place him at #3.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

His stats this year are amazing given how the team has played overall.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

BU season is done. Finished with 2.45 GAA and .926SV%.

Dallas will be looking to sign him this off-season and have him in Texas next year.
