Carolina has graduated a few of its top prospects (Svechnikov, Wallmark, Foegele), but still has Necas and Bean.
However, what is most intriguing is that there are actually 5 solid looking goalie prospects. The two listed plus Booth, Helvig, and Makiniemi.
Booth was excellent in 17-18 in the ECHL and solid as AHL backup last season. Helvig was the best rookie goalie in the ECHL last season. Makiniemi was the standout at the recent prospect scrimmage, where he looked better than Kochetkov. In fact, as best I could tell from the online coverage of the camp Makiniemi was the only goalie not to give up a goal in the scrimmage and shootout.
