Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Shestyorkin, add Huska. Huska's been excellent since drafted, two good WJC's, dominant year in the USHL, and then he was pretty good as the goalie for a bad UConn team last season.

unless the goalie in question is Ollie Eriksson-Ek, drafted by the Ducks?

Joel Eriksson Ek is a legendary goalie
I'll go Demko
Joel's younger bro Olle is a goaltender who was drafted by the Ducks.

Considering Oettinger was the first goalie drafted in 2017 (26th overall), I'm not expecting Olle Eriksson Ek (153rd overall, I believe he was the 15th goalie selected) to be an option yet.

sure but i was responding to the "J Eriksson-Ek - Min" that was posted, the center not the goalie, plus the fact that there is no listing of Jake Oettenger. with 2 votes already, i guess Joel Eriksson-Ek has converted from center to goal?

How is Demko leading this poll? Both Shestyorkin and Sorokin are significantly better. Better league and a much better SV%.

30 points higher?
And its a better league, so if anything, it should be evened out, given Shestyorkin and Sorokin face better competition.

I disagree, just last year in the CHL McNiven was voted best goaltender of the year .
McNiven>Parsons IMO.

How is that very ignorant?
The KHL is full of players (for the most part) that a) aren't good enough to be NHL or b) were in the NHL but are now old and slow. While the AHL is full of young players (mostly the best players from Euro leagues and best upcoming young NA talent meeet in the AHL.)
Look at he Spengler Cup. A bunch of old, broken down, has-Been Canadians with such studs as Mason Raymond, go and win that tournament over KHL teams pretty much every year.

Those Canadian teams are basically equivalent/close to ~AHL all-star level teams...
Yet last year they lost to Dinamo Minsk 7-4 in the group and won by one goal in the QF's.
Minsk were maybe the ~10th best KHL team last year.

Look at the 2016 roster that won the tournament...
Zachary Fucale, James Shepard, Mason Raymond, Brandon Gormley, Gregory Campbell, MA Pouliot, Mason Raymond, Nick Spaling. Those are the biggest names/best players on team Canada that won the 2016 tournament against the best teams in the SHL, KHL and other Euro leagues.
Then you have guys like Alex Marchenko who was on Russia's Olympic team yet was 2nd pair in the AHL. Generally players from over seas that have already had success struggle at the AHL level ie Pulju, Nylander this year, because of the step up in competiton.
