I have high hopes for Felix still, but it's hard to argue against what Ersson accomplished at his age in his league. I believe it was the best season ever by an 18 year old goalie in Allvenskan (1.95 GAA. - .933 Save Perctange).

There is an argument to be made it was THE best season in Allsvenskan history by a goalie. Considering the team he was on.

He won junior of the year, goalie of the year, and MVP!

That's pretty insane! Hopefully he can build on it with Brynas this year. How do you think they will split the starts between he and Eriksson?

Right now looking like Eriksson will get the majority... but I would guess by years end Ersson plays at least 20 games or so.

But they want to win. If Ersson gets a few games of good play in a row and Eriksson falters then it will be Ersson's job.

Tonight is a big game. Eriksson has not been exactly good so far in his two starts and it is THE local derby. If Eriksson has a bad game Ersson will get a chance to have a few in a row maybe.

I have Ersson ahead of Sandstrom, and off last season and this year's start Fedotov

Fedovov had a .929 S% in the VHL, and in 7 KHL games from end of last year and start of this year, .943 S%.
He's 6'8, so it's not surprising it took him longer to put it together, but if he continues to play this way, could be our top goalie prospect by the end of the year.
He doesn't turn 23 until November 28.

No need to complicate things. Despite Ersson's incredible season and recent glow up, it is still Sandstrom. He went through a tough couple injuries and still maintained his amazing quickness and athleticism. Two fantastic goalie prospects and in goalie speak, the two of them are a perfect 1A and 1B.

edit: also save percentage doesn't tell the full story on goalie prospects

Agreed, it's a coin flip for me, but I went Felix first.

Well 1B and 1C here because to be the man you got to beat the man who was just removed from the prospect list

I don't mean their actual roles, just that there isn't much separation between the two

I won't be shocked that there isn't much difference between the three Hart/Sandstrom/Ersson

 

[landsbergfan]

I tried to tell you fools

 

[Curufinwe]

Right now there's a huge gap between Hart and Sandstrom.

 

[dats81]

Predicting the development of goaltenders is some kind of black magic Voodoo thing to me that I don't even try any more.

Sandstrom, Ersson, Ustimenko and to some degree Fedotov all have the upside to become dominant NHL goaltenders. But it's a long way to even earn a shot. I'd be happy if at least one of them can establish himself as an NHL regular at some point.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sandstrom took the lead overnight.

 

[Foggy14]

Don't shoot the messenger, but Pronman just published a re-draft of 2018. He put Ersson in the first round (#30) after not ranking him at all last year.

Pronman: Re-ranking the NHL Draft Class of 2018

Pretty nice value for the 143rd pick.

About last night, I seem to recall Hart getting roughed up early in a few games last season. I still like him just fine.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ersson picked the wrong time to shit the bed.

Kept Merkley at 19, still higher than he was drafted.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

A healthy Sandstrom is a weapon. Ersson may end up better, and that would be great, but Sandstrom has proved more at higher levels. So far.

 

[Rebels57]

Kept Merkley at 19, still higher than he was drafted.

That despite Merkley getting banished from the OHL. He cant help himself.

 

[Curufinwe]

Right now there's a huge gap between Hart and Sandstrom.

That gap is now even wider.

 

[David St Hubbins]

That gap is now even wider.

Scouts flying over said gap:
