Who are some good goalies that you expect to still be there in the second round? Also, how far down do you think Dubnyk could be had?

GaryU said:I know Schneider is supposed to be a very good prospect. I can't imagine he'd be a priority for the Hawks at #32. If they do take Barker at #3, I'd think that 3 of 4 2nd rounders would HAVE to be forwards (& a Calgary d-man perhaps). That being said, we're talking about the Hawks. Forget Leighton, Anderson, Crawford, Brodeur, Ayers, Berkhoel, Munro in the system already (I guess).

After that it's Shantz and Peters, who should go between 45-55,
Another drop-off, and you've got Ellis, LaCosta, Akerlund, Brown and Greiss. None of whom will go 2nd.

BobMarleyNYR said:Good ranking! And I genuinely ask, do you think Akerlund is THAT good? And that's rhetorical, I don't know much about him... Also, shouldn't maybe Peters be in Glass's spot? I also like Ellis and LaCosta... but not top 7.

Heh, just read another thread and it looks like your own quote might be the best retort...
BobMarleyNYR said:OK, see, not to be a dick, but I must make an example of this post... as the draft draws nearer, people seem to think things are set in stone (i.e. NYR - Ladd, PHO - Tukonen). The truth is there is little to no factual evidence indicating that teams are 100% sold on a guy. With the exception of WAS, PIT and CBJ to a lesser extent.
With that said, there is an immeasureable chance that CHI will NOT take Barker... likely a very high chance they won't.
Moving right along, any Chicago fan will tell you they need a better goalie prospect than Leighton. Schneider is actually a very feasible option at 32. Some speculate he will go in the 1st round.
