Best Goalie Prospect-Poll #1

[User571]

I wanted to run a series of polls to see how everyone ranked the young goaltending prospects. Each of the polls will take approx. 24-48 hrs.


Inspired by Fleuryfan's Penguins prospect poll.


Here is the poll for #1...

Lehtonen

He's considered a god on these boards, no?

[Alex Kovalev]

Lehtonen

yes he is


I went with Fleury.

 

[devildan]

Who the hell voted Ahonen 3 times?!?!

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Who the hell voted Ahonen 3 times?!?!

In my opinion, I would take Lehtonen, Fleury, Ouellet, and Toivonen over Ahonen.

 

[Newfie Bruin]

Who the hell voted Ahonen 3 times?!?!

NJ fans!!

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Finland has great prospects in Lehtonen, Toivonen, and Ahonen.

I've got it like this

Kari<--Jesus with goalie pads on according to most*rolls eyes*
MAF<--Looks like he could be a superstar..hopefully he doesn't get Blackburned
Max<--Had plenty of time to develop and looks to be on his way to success..just needs to chance to play.
Ahonen<--he's VERY underrated because he's stuck behind Marty and everyone knows it so he gets no exposure..if he ever gets to play or gets moved he's gonna prove a lot of people wrong.

Blackburn could still become a VERY good goailie, but the chances just aren't as good.

BTW, why is their no Blackburn or Lundqvist on this poll? I wouldn't vote for either of them, but I think that both are better than some of the goalies on the poll.

 

[BostonBob]

Speaking for most Bruin fans - we are eagerly awaiting Hannu Toivonen's arrival in Boston. I was shocked when the Bruins picked him so high ( # 29 in 2002 ) but he has already shown that the Bruins made a great pick. He should be the starting goalie next season in Providence and then battle Andrew Raycroft for the # 1 spot in the 2005 season.

 

[DaveG]

Although I'd love to say it's Cam Ward... Lehtonen has this one without a question.

 

[tom_servo]

Lehtonen's a year ahead, and hasn't done a thing to be usurped by Fleury. So, Kari gets my vote.

Which ones are Blackburn better than?

 

[Hitman*]

Lehtonen

not by much, nor 'hands down.' But his devellopment didn't endure the same hiccups that Fleury did.

Basically for me it is:

1A: Lehtonen
1B: Fleury

 

[Kafka]

Miller and Ouellet names are there.... but where is Ilja Bryzgalov one???

 

[Mr.Sinister]

Ahonen is garbage

doesnt anyone notice the stats this guy puts up, i mean doesnt put up,
All he is a lot of hot air, riding the rep that lamirillo has for getting gems, the only gem that NJ has is Parise and Philman.

Anyways, i voted for Maxi

 

[IFK]

Kari Lehtonen

add: Bryzgalov and Niittymaki

 

[Unknownbutfamous]

Which ones are Blackburn better than?

Ahonen- Can barely keep a .900 SP in the AHL

 

[tripledekehockey]

Lehtonen without a doubt so far

 

[IFK]

Ahonen- Can barely keep a .900 SP in the AHL

Yeah, and he playing Albany and no one can keep there Pct better than that.

 

[Chaos]

Yeah, and he playing Albany and no one can keep there Pct better than that.

Bacashihua put up a .916% in Utah, a team tat had only 3 more points than Albany.....
