Why does it seem as though there's some big push now to discount Schwarz as a legitimate top goalie prospect? It wouldn't be because of the team that drafted him, would it...
Personally, it's because I wasn't as impressed with him at the WJCs as others seem to have been, and because his numbers in the WHL are worse than his own backup.Prussian_Blue said:Lundqvist is a third-year pro in Sweden. So that's still only one.
And yes, I know Schwarz played pro in the CR last year... for half the season. He was on the Sparta junior team for a large part of the year, too.
And no, I don't take McKeen's as "the bible" by any means. Just reporting what's out there.

You obviously haven't seen Todd Ford play.CoupeStanley said:Quite honestly I don't think so.
Kari Lehtonen gonna soon become one of the most dominating goalie we ever saw. IMO. He has it all, I cant say how much I'm high on him. Atlanta scares me if they can get a somewhat decent defense.
He's huge, fast, strong physically, real strong mentally, he gots some sick legs. Amazing glove.
As much as I would like Fleury to be the next great goaltender of my nation, I don't think he ever gonna become a top-star. He's quick... so damn quick but he has a fluorescent five-hole and IMO, note thats just my unbiased opinion but he doesnt have that Roy-Brodeur-Belfour-Theodore-Lehtonen mental thoughness that makes a good goaltender the best of his peer. He's got Jocelyn Thibault written all-over him. Not bad, even real good. Just far away from Lehtonen.
