That's the Czech goalie I was thinking of. In Future Considerations final ranking they had Gravel as the top goalie and Skarek wasn't even in the top three.

Luckily Sakic also played with a few good ones. Always loved Kamensky and Gusarov for instance.

Greg Balloch of InGoal media has Skarek/Dostal high as well and expects them to be the first two goalies off the board. For me this is a Euro heavy draft at the beginning (3 out of my top 4 are European goalies).
Does having him in my Top 6 mean I hate him? For the record Rodrigue is the QMJHL goalie I have the most concerns about but I'd have no issue taking Rodrigue in the 4th round to start with.
I've heard the same as Hench that the Avs are looking to take a goalie early. I'm not sure which goalie he's hearing (his is probably more right than whoever it is I'm hearing) but if they take the goalie I've heard this board's reaction is going to be interesting.

I thought there was some kid that was highly rated that you just didn't believe in, but it may have been someone who was highly rated at the start of the season but is no longer thought of as fondly.

Don't worry you can be even more mad when they draft Veini Vehvilainen in the 2nd.
My clear top 3 goalies are Skarek, Dostal and Rodrigue but not huge on any goalie from this draft to be honest.

is a big fat mess.
Knowing the Avs and their love of overseas goalie prospects, I'd be putting my money on either Lukas Dostal or Juustus Annunen

I'd invest your money in an older goalie...say about 21yo and was mentioned above.

Might be worth drafting Vehviläinen just to hear how Haynes will butcher the name.

I’d be down to draft Justus Annunen in the 4th I think he’s in the top tier of goalies for this draft.

Since Mustafi has missed out on making the squad I’d encourage you to switch to an iteration of this
God damn do I love that bug-eyed bastard. I hope the idiots that can't do it now, learn to appreciate that elegant son of a bitch when he's no longer sliding impossible passes into dangerous areas for our NT.

Hate for him is truly bizarre. I guess it's like Avs fans having a hate-on for Barrie/Landeskog.

It's a combination of the "not german enough" bigots, and the traditionalists that hate that we have skill & don't still play the ugly football that we did in the 80s.

Pronman’s most recent ranking list is pretty interesting. He has Bokk up there with Boqvist and Tkachuk, but he also has Merkley in the same range. He also has Kotkaniemi in the same tier as Svechnikov, so there’s absolutely no way we’d be able to draft him unless we trade up.
His thoughts about Bokk remind me of what @henchman24 was saying about Bokk earlier in this thread. If the scouting team is willing to take a substantial risk in this draft, Bokk is the guy I want them to get.

He has Jesse Ylonen, who I've never heard of, in his top 15. He also loves the Russians in this draft.

Not Great, Bob!
He's a much different goalie than he was with Jyp. He still might not make it, but teams will be taking a chance on him. He was already on the radar in his draft year and seems to have grown out of the issues that cost him a selection before.

Pronman always has some hot takes/outliers in his lists. It's interesting to see his perspective though. I like Bokk a lot but wouldn't rank him that high. As far as pure skill, I rate Kravtsov slightly higher.
Ylonen though is a really skilled all-around player. I have a feeling some team is going to like him enough to pick him a lot higher than the consensus lists will have him.

He’s got so many Russians on his list that I had no idea who he was talking about after the top 3 or 4 he listed. Can’t say I blame him, though. Kucherov & Kuznetsov are showing people that the risk in taking Russians isn’t as serious as it was before. If no Bokk, then I’m pulling for Kravstov. Maybe Denisenko.
