10 Best Goalie Prospects?

[hskates21*]

This thread needs more nilsson and poulin

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

I suggest Anders Nilsson might be in this list by this time next summer.

 

[Zim]

Needs more Salak.

You want the best asset out there?

I just like to point out that number 1,3,4,5 on that list are Swedes

how is Eddie Lack not in the conversation is beyond me!

in his rookie season takes the starting role from AHL regular Tyler Weiman and finishes a top 5 goalie stats wise in the AHL for goalies playing 41+ games. 7th best if its by AHL standards. 3rd best rookie goalie but the stats for the top 3 are close

In the playoffs he steps his game up even more to become 4th best goalie and the only reason the Moose made it as far as they did. best rookie goalie in the playoffs and besides Lehner, no other rookie goalie came close to his stats

He should be a top 3 goalie in the AHL next season

My list would be:
Jacob Markstrom
Braden Holtby
Jack Campbell
Jake Allen
Robin Lehner
Jhonas Enroth
Eddie Lack
Richard Bachman
Ben Scrivens
Matt Hackett

Schneider, Lindback, Remier to me are ineligible since they have secured 20+ games as backups or starters in the NHL

If anyone reading this thread has not yet been to http://thegoalieguild.com/
stop reading, open a new tab, and check it out...

No discussion of prospect goalies can be thoroughly undertaken without at least some reference to the content of that site...

Excellent...

Not debating Lack's merits, but when the MVP of the playoffs was another rookie goalie, you can't really call him the best rookie goalie in the playoffs.

MVP is only given to a player on a team in the finals and to me its debatable if Lack had a better team around him that could make it to the finals that he could have gotten MVP. But nonetheless Lehner won it and deservedly so

But just to show how Manitoba had a weak team in terms of depth, half their team were rookies! they had 10 rookies on their team playing the majority of the season! of which 7 were playing significant roles (including Lack).

Needs more Salak.

It doesn't. Really hate his playing style, it's awkward and won't suit the NHL game imo. Overrated talent, I'm glad we got rid of him.

 

[Buttonwood]

I hate to sound negative and really contribute nothing to the debate, but this thread will be good for an absolute laugh in the future. Goaltending prospects are fickle. The world is filled with 'good' goalies, but there are very few consistently 'great' ones.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Can somebody make a case for Bachman or Scrivens over Brad Thiessen?

I'm not saying he should necessarily make this list, I'm just curious.

 

[ComradeChris]

inb4 Daniel Larsson

 

[Nuckles]

If Eddie Lack plays like he did last season in the AHL, he should definitely be on the list.
53 GP, 2.26 GAA, .926 SV% in the regular season.
12 GP, 1.99 GAA, .932 SV% in the playoffs.

No offence but i think i'll trust the opinion of the guys over at the goalie guild vs yours.

 

[SI90]

this list is pretty good, more so Because you got Irving in their

Even more because Poulin is on there...at least sombody besides Patrick Roy sees the light

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

I may sound like a homer but I think Calvin Pickard is underrated. He did some incredible things on his own in Seattle last year... if he was on a powerhouse team like Kelowna or Saskatoon he would have been talked about much much much more.

 

[Dutchy]

Hackett is definitely in top 10. His season in Houston was fantastic for a rookie.

 

[HTFN]

It does my heart good to see Holtby at #2 on the Goalie Guild list.

 

[Pentothal]

Kind of amazing how good Swedish goalie prospect there are nowadays considering how things used to be.

 

[Minister of Offence]

Holtby and Lindback both over Markstrom and Lehner for me at the moment.

 

[StIllmatic]

This thread lacks a certain prospect named Eddie Lack. He was amazing last year, should definitely be top 10.

One season of great play doesn't prove a ton.

To be fair he first made it to North America after a solid year in Sweden in 2009-2010.

Fair enough then. I have never heard of him before this year.

But he only played 14 games in 09/10 in Sweden. Not a huge sample size.

He's also a little older than most of the other guys.

Yeah, but regardless of being a backup in Brynnas that year it was obviously good enough to earn a full time gig in North America. That right there shows how good he played despite a small sample size.
