Best Goalies in the 2012 Draft

[TheBradyBunch]

I know this years not too strong on tenders and, while next year is a very good draft the goalies aren't a top end crop. That being said, who are the top goalies for the 2012 NHL Draft? All I've really heard of are Rutledge, Dansk, Altshuller, Franke, etc, but I have no clue where they rank or too much about them, plus I am sure there are other goalies I haven't heard of.
Any input and opinion would be great

[Emerica]

Domenic Graham of the Drummondville Voltigeurs. Rookie Goalie of the year in the Q.

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

Is Subban 2012 or 2013?

 

[Alberta tough]

Is Subban 2012 or 2013?

Pretty sure 2012.

 

[MaxV]

Is Andrei Vasilevskiy 2012 draft eligible? He has looked very impressive.

 

[Jamie Benn]

Domenic Graham of the Drummondville Voltigeurs. Rookie Goalie of the year in the Q.

2013 Eligible.


Some other guys to look out for include
Oskar Dansk, Andrei Vasilvskiy, Malcolm Subban have been impressive. A under the radar guy is Matt Murray of the Greyhounds. Some others include Jon Gillies and Ruetledge of the USNTDP, Dalton Izyk looks good as well. Another goalie is Belleville Bulls prospect Daniel Alsthuller, played for team Ontario in the U-17's and made it over some of the guys in the OHL. Francois Tremblay is a big goalie who plays in the Q for Valdor. Chris Dreidger is the best of the WHL.

Chris Dreidger of the Tri-City Americans (Likely to get traded cause of Comrie), draws comparisons to Luongo/Price but good enough to be a starter someday, TC didn't treat him well.

He is 2012 eligible. Looks like excellent prospect.
Czech goalie Marek Langhammer is solid prospect.

I also have reason to believe that Daniel Altschuller is going the college route rather than going to Bellville next year. He will be playing junior A next season. How do you think that would impact his draft ranking?

 

[Mathradio]

How good Subban is compared to the likes of Altschuller or Dansk?

 

[scoutman1]

Oscar Dansk from sweden and Francois Tremblay from Val-d'Or should both give runs for 1st round potential.

[HalbertGil*]

Thomas Bakko Narmo: 6'7, 16 year old, Norwegian goalie.

 

[Stanleyjub]

Not so good draft for finnish-goalies than 2011 or 2013. I guess Oskari Setänen is the best finnish goalie-prospect for this draft ?

 

[S E P H]

Look for Brandon Hope of Sarnia Sting. I've heard good things about a few goaler prospects from the US High School system. Also Q is supposed to have a great year too.

2012 is looking very good compared to 2011.

Oskari Setänen, Joonas Korpisalo and Henri Kiviaho seem like fairly good goalie prospects, but at this point it's hard to say if any of them get drafted.

I'm a bit biased, but Joonas Korpisalo is a pretty good goalie with good size. He's played well with the national teams as well and he'll most likely be the starting goalie for Jokerit U20 next season. Of course Setänen already played U20 this year but Korpisalo had the best goalie in the U20 league ahead of him so he really didn't even have a chance to play with U20.

If Kasimir Kaskisuo continues with Jokerit, it'll be interesting to see how the ice time is divided between him and Korpisalo. Kaskisuo is also a 2012 eligible and not a bad netminder.

Yea, I forgot Kaskisuo is 2012 as well despite being -93 born. I heard it'll be Kaskisuo and Korpisalo as Jokerit's netminders and that's a pretty good duo right there. Jokerit have some good young goalies coming up with these two + Frans Tuohimaa and -95 born Kevin Lankinen.
