[Xspyrit]

#1- Spencer Knight (Rank NHL goalie prospects)
#2- Yaroslav Askarov (Rank NHL goalie prospects)
#3- Jake Oettinger (Rank NHL goalie prospects)
#4- Jeremy Swayman (Rank NHL goalie prospects #4)
#5- Kaapo Kähkönen (Rank NHL goalie prospects #5)


I will wait 3 days per round (voting closes after 3 days) to see if there's a clear winner. Hopefully, we'll get enough votes to make a top-10 or even top-15

When voting, please also consider their age, a 20 y/o goalie has more room to develop than a 24 y/o goalie


Tell me who to add


ELIGIBILITY : Under 25 y/o and under 45 NHL games (HF criterias)

Primeau and add Daws and/or Wallstedt. I'd probably have Daws over Schmid, but who knows.

Dostal underrated once again

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Voted Dostal

Add Joel Blomqvist

 

[RedWingzz]

UPL

 

[SoundAndFury]

Ustimenko even being between the choices is hilarious. 22 y.o. goalie troubled by injuries who only ever played in C-grade leagues... He wouldn't be the 6th Russian goalie prospect, nevermind overall.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Voted for Dostal, next is Primeau

Kahkonen isn’t a great goalie prospect. He’s not even really a prospect anymore for one, but he’s more of a 1B guy I think.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Yeah Gustavsson doesn't exist outside Ottawa (maybe some Pens fans still have some recollection)

 

[Isaac Nootin]

UPL

Had high hopes for him when he turned pro, but he's been completely average (below) since leaving Sudbury.

Dostal underrated once again

In what sense? He's going to be voted #6 over a guy that has a 0.933 SV% in 9 NHL games and has looked pretty damn good doing it

I don't think I ever did such a big 180 on a player

I'm a goalie so always interested to look at these guys. I saw him play live in the 2018 rookie tournament and was more impressed with a guy freshly drafted, Kevin Mandolese (who's like the Sens 5th best goalie prospect). Sure Gustavsson already has strung fundamentals and a great technique but was not impressed. He took a while to figure it out in NA but looked like he finally did and looked like a completely different player in 2020-21, pretty much like when an offensive player "breaks out", I think Gustavsson totally "broke out" as a goalie.

Ottawa is not a big/popular market. I'm sure a lot of people don't even know who Mads Sogaard is and won't consider him in this poll for a while. The 20 y/o came to the AHL and made it look easy, going 7-0 with a 0.917 SV%. His SV% dropped a bit towards the end but even if the team was pretty hot, he was finding ways to win and make the last big save. He's a 6'7 athletic monster, sky is the limit for him. I'm personally debating who I am higher on, Gustavsson or Sogaard. I see similarities with the Lehner vs Bishop situation

Someone asked to add him in poll #4

It's a democracy so I had to. I also thought a few other asks were a bit too early considering the names that were still left on board.

Dostal. Add no one.

Lmao I was being dramatic

ok ... are you laughing because I'm discussing hockey on a hockey forum?

The guy who drafted both Wolf and Hart was on Calgary radio the other day.

He said that Wolf will be a high-end pro and that his doubters will be wrong.
