Well Patterson as an overager is one then who has very good rebound control Comrie was far better directing pucks to the corner in every game I saw him play in the tournament especially in the US game. I would also take the Frontenacs tender Lucas Peressini. Also take Appleby from Oshawa.
Paterson, and his "very good" rebound control, doesn't do
anything better than Fucale - and that includes control rebounds. He'll look great at it in practice, and then you see him over-playing shots and dropping into that butterfly too automatically during actual games, and he loses a bit of control when he "shouldn't". These are the same things that affected Price's rebound control in the early days, too, mind you. And while Peressini is a good, hard-working goalie, he's still described as "raw" - and that includes HIS rebound control. You could have done worse than picking two Red Wing camp invitees, though.
As for Appleby, well, he's pretty huge which is good for absorbing pucks. He's good at a lot of stuff, actually. I might have to give you him, because we're kind of just seeing what he's capable of now that a goalie who set franchise records is out of his way. Passed over in two drafts (which is usually a red flag for things like fundamentals), but most recently has impressed at a couple of NHL camps and is tearing it up. Maybe his coordination and strength are catching up to his size. I bet if you watched video of him two years ago, and video of him today, you'd almost think you were watching two different goalies. We'll see how far the chip on his shoulder from getting ignored for so long takes him.
Comrie, again, I'm not going to give you that one. Good fundamentals, and probably at about the same level overall when it comes to preventing and dealing with rebounds, but nothing I've seen from him puts him ahead of Fucale in any of the "detail skills". I don't see how you could get such a glowing impression from anything he did this tournament to begin with, though.
