Who are the better goalies in the upcoming draft? I rarely check this board and I havent heard about any top goalies so far, so could anyone tell me who the projected top guys are?
I'm thinking it depends on who you like the most since there's not really anyone that breaks away from the bunch.
Most of those that have been following closely the draft will tell you that Joel Gistedt, Jeremy Smith, Trevor Cann and Tyson Sexsmith are the main top 4.
On draft day though, if a team likes a goalie better than everyone else and decides to take a flyer on him early on, all hail could break lose and we could see a very weird goalie draft.
Here's my top 15, for what it's worth:
01 Joel Gistedt
02 Trevor Cann
03 Jeremy Smith
04 Tyson Sexsmith
05 Brad Phillips
06 Kent Patterson
07 Mark Owuya
08 Linden Rowatt
09 Timo Pielmeier
10 Justin LeClerc
11 Kurtis Mucha
12 Josh Unice
13 Mattias Modig
14 Reid Ellingson
15 Bradley Eidness
I would be suprised to see a goaltender taken in the first as well.
Just a quick note, here are the goalies invited to the NHL Combine:
Trevor Cann
Bradley Eidsness
Joel Gistedt
Mark Guggenberger
Antoine Lafleur
Mark Owuya
Nicola Riopel
Linden Rowat
Tyson Sexsmith
Jeremy Smith
Plays for the Winter Hawks (WHL).
PEI Rocket, Antoine Lafleur had a great regular season as he took over the #1 job mid way through.
27 wins, and finished 2nd in the Q league with a .909 save %.
Had a rough playoff, as his team lost in 7gms in the 1st rd.
Kid will be a decent pick for whomever takes him, and will continue to improve his game.
I don't think Modig is draft eligable since he's 20, wouldn't be surprised if a NHL team tried to sign him as a free agent though.
how can anyone rank rowatt ahead of sexsmith?
Does anyone know anything about Jiri Slovak, Kriz Lazaruk and Dan Rosen??
