What?
No

Fleury is elite. Subban is very good with elite potential.

No probably Holtby and Grubauer or Rinne and Saros

Subban is a fringe NHLer, so he drags this thing way down for me...

Fleury is elite. Subban is very good with elite potential.

Fleury was awesome this year, no doubt. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, he was in the 7-10 range in the league (if not worse) for like the past 4 seasons or so.

Aren't you one of the guys who use to rate the prospects for this site? Subban is new but he's not fringe. His potential is allstar or at very least good starter

Subban is very athletic.

He is not big and doesn't play angles great.

Right now he is totally a fringe NHLer. But, you can't teach his athletic ability.

Why? What specific attributes make you believe that.

I look at his glove mechanics and how they've been since he was in the O, and I can't imagine this guy makes pension...he's only in the league right now because they added another team for him...that's not always great haha...

Terrific athlete, not a great goalie...the holes in his technique are just easy to beat at this level...you can't have pucks go through you and by your glove at the rate that they do and still hack it in this thing for a long time...he's been through a lot of goalie coaches and the results are always pretty similar from a technical perspective...it's just not based on a strong enough foundation to be palatable for me...if he starts 150 games in the NHL I'll be really surprised...
