The situation in Minnesota is pretty clogged with goalies...

Was Gustafson released then?

 

[BrooklynCanuck]

Tellqvist is in perfect position. He really doesn't have to bear much load this year, maybe 5-10 games. Next year one of Belfour or Kidd won't be in Toronto. He'll get ice time next year. Then the year after that he'll probably have to see a lot of ice and or start.

 

[Kugel]

Not really a top 10 because I like all these goalies but:

1. Kari Lehtonen
2. Josh Harding
3. Maxime Oullette
4. Maxime Daigneault
5. David Leneveu
6. Ray Emery
7. Cam Ward
8. Jason Bacashihua
9. Jeff Deslauriers
10. Ilya Bryzgalov

Some other goalies to watch for:
Evengi Konstantinov (I don't know how's he doing for TB)
Oliver Michaud (Ditto)
Michael Leighton (Is he a Prospect?)
Pascal Leclaire
Stefan Liv
Tobias Stephen
Ari Ahonen
Barry Brust
Brent Krahn

He doesn't have a chance in hell to ever make it on the Wild.

Like Cloutier (who is younger), he was resigned and moved to the ECHL. Unless there is a huge plague of injuries, he'll have to move to another team.

I hate to sound like a homer, but the Islanders deserve some mention here.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING:

Wade Dubieliwicz (I'll learn to spell his name correctly some day) is absolutely destroying the AHL. Stat-wise, it is unreal. His save percentage is 10 points higher than the next best goaltender, Ryan Miller. His GAA, 1.16, is .3 points lower than the next best goaltender, Ryan Miller.

I've never seen him play at the NHL level. I saw a few of his college games, but it's been so long i cant remember what hes like. So talent wise I dont know what the Isles have...

But I am SUPRISED that when a goalie dominates a pro league like the AHL like this, he doesnt get mentioned on this board. I'm not saying we should start a Wade Dubliewicz Sporadic Post Thread, but I do believe he needs his name in this thread.

I agree to an extent. He's been incredible so far in the AHL. However I just think it's a bit early to include his name in a top 10 list. He was afterall an undrafted free agent. I think that if he keeps this up for the rest of the season, he will start to open some eyes and begin to get some serious recognition.
