How has he done this year? Do you still feel he's a legitimate top 5 goaltending prospect?
How would you rank him in comparison to let's say:
Toivonen
Leighton
Ward
Any insight would be appreciated.
Ya hes definetley still a top 5 goalie in my opinion.
Dan Blackburn - Hes was brought into the league too fast and now he has to refine his skills if he wants to be a 1st stringer
Ari Ahonen - Good goalie, but hes behind Martin Broduer who plays 65+ games a season, ahonen likely to season any action unless hes traded
Pascal Leclaire - He also plays behind a pretty good young goalie in Marc Denis, hasnt shown that he can handle being a #1 goalie
Hannu Toivonen - descent goalie but with the recent success of Raycroft doesnt look like Toivonen will be counted on as a #1 goalie maybe a 1a at best IMO
With that in mind looks like Ouellet should be getting more and more time to play for the Caps as they are building younger..
