Best "Under the Radar" Goalies not yet in NHL

[Brandinho]

I don't see these guys as any less obvious then Markstrom or Enroth..
Irving was a first round pick in 2006..McCollum was a first last year, Neuvirth was a recent second..Helenius was a first..Allen and Tordjman were 2nds.
Of those, I think Irving and Allen will have the best future.. They both look like great goaltenders. Irving has top 10 potential.

Actually, Tordjman was never drafted.

Martin Jones who is currently playing for the Calgary Hitmen (WHL).

That is who I'm pulling for! But that's primarily because I've got to see him play the last two or three years!

Does Irving really count? He was a goalie for Team Canada at the WJC's (although backup) and a former first rounder!

 

[Prospectman]

Anyone know how Pogge's doin so far?

 

[Seth Lake]

I'd like to add Predators prospect Atte Engren into this discussion. As I've posted before, he was on par with Pickard as the best goalie throughout rookie camp this summer until tweaking his groin on the last day and has had a very nice start to the season as the No. 1 goalie for his European team.

Very fluid skater, challenges the shooters, leaves no rebounds, and displays a fantastic glove hand that he consistently challenges shooters to beat.

I got a few from FEL just because i follow it the closest along with NHL.

Most of the are a bit older, but for example Niklas Backstrom made it to NHL older than normal..

1. Petri Vehanen (Lukko)
2. Pekka Tuokkola (JYP)
3. Juuso Riksman (Jokerit)
4. Eero Kilpeläinen (Ässät)
5. Teemu Lassila (HPK)

chris carrozzi needs to be on people's radars
plays for the majors, played for the nepean raiders before that, drafted in the 6th by atlanta.

This guy is going to be a steal.

Didn't he loose his starting job to JP Anderson? Or does he bounce back this season?

Cory Schneider is a starter in 10 to 15 NHL teams AS OF NOW... What a waste of talent...

LOL @ Bubaj\Anderson, Osgood, Toskala, Huet, Khabibulin, Quick\Ersberg (?), Biron\Roloson, Turco, LeClaire...

Just, wow. Theodore?

Lalande and Keetley - tough to say. Both have looked great at times and both have also looked mediocre.

Keetley is in tough because he's going up against Irving and right now I'd say Irving's the better goalie and heir apparent in Calgary. I could see Irving getting 30ish NHL starts next year. The only way Keetley will really get a shot is to move to another organization I think - like Lalande.

I just throw in a name here....

Leonardo Genoni of the HC Davos in the Swiss League!

He was always behind Reto Berra in the Junior National Teams (u18 and u20) for some reason, but has passed him in the Davos depth chart and took the Starting Job from him....

Could be the next Jonas Hiller out of Switzerland... Who knows!?
