Prospect Info: Prospect Rating #3 (2023 Version)

[Peat]

Goalies are players I'm still learning about. I either like them or I don't but can't tell you specifics. Not saying I'm a scout or anything like that.

Heck, NHL scouts are still figuring out goalies.

Ditto on all that.

I'd add that I think the NHL is in a bit of an evolutionary moment. The way teams have homed in on cross slot passes and making the goalie go from post to post is changing what teams want from athletes a little I think. Smaller, faster guys like Murashov are a little in. You watch his highlights and he absolutely stones a few 2 on 1s that I'd normally think "that goes in" and I don't blame the goalie. That's exciting stuff to me.

Pretty cool to see the rise of so many great young Russian goalies. Must have been a point of focus since that was a weakness for Russia for decades.

I'll be opening the #4 poll tonight.

Regardless of what it looks like to some, I’m going to have two goalies in our top four prospects lol…Murashov, though further from the NHL,just has too much promise over the next best prospects in Poulin and Puusy…at this point, Puusy only one year of prospect eligibility left imo…if he doesn’t make it to the NHL this year, and Sullivan will make that near impossible, he shouldn’t be on the list at age 25 lol

I'll be sure to add

DILLON HAMALIUK​

to the next poll.

Farewell, Legare, thou good and valiant prospect.

Hamaliuk and Legare looks pretty even on the first glance. Second/third rounder who hasn't really gotten going in the AHL yet.

Earlier this summer I made a prediction that I think Legare would be a 4th liner in the NHL this season. Even stated that it probably wouldn't be with the Pens. In WBS he rarely took a shift off and was at it at both ends of the ice.

Murashov > Blomqvist

I voted Broz. I think he’s one of the few guys on here that could be more than just a cup of coffee in the league, even if it’s unlikely.
