Was anyone hyping Hill as an A prospect prior to him having his 10ish game run with the parent club in Nov/Dec? He was barely in the conversation of being in the Top 10 a year ago. I agree he’s on the radar screen but I don’t know if he has NHL starter potential. I’m certainly not willing to consider Hill as a goalie I wouldn’t leave unexposed for the expansion draft.
I thought that in about 2 years time, we would have a serviceable backup, at the very least. Hill just kind of quietly goes about his business.
That's not to say that Prosvetov is not going to reach certain career points in the same fashion and that his ceiling is lower. I just see very similar career and talent trajectories, and it was surprising to see a significant number of votes thrown at the 20 year old vs the 23 year old in a position that takes longer to develop.
