I'd change tier 1 to "top six/starting goalie" potential ...no one has come out and said any of our prospects (outside of Wood maybe) are bonafide top line material

Great ranking and process, btw. Maybe there are at most like 2 players who wouldn't have made my personal top-20, and maybe there a (very few) cases where I'd have done things slightly differently, but this is a great consensus.

I think we're in a great spot atm, because outside our top-10ish, we're really in a state of some flux, waiting for the next key data inputs to come in. But the fact we have so many "interesting" players to watch for that data is IMHO a great thing.
