What happened to our deep goaltending pool everyone was bragging about?

They all suck lol

I still have hope for parsons, but yikes.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Once Vali and Dubes graduate next season our pool will need to be restocked very very badly

Yes and no. The pool itself will look bad, but we’ll have a ton of young talent on the roster that won’t need replacing anytime soon

 

[Baxterman]

1. Valimaki
2. Dube

3. Pelltier

The rest are all lumped together for me. I don't see any that stand out over the others. The new Russian is intriguing but until he comes over I will always have doubts about that happening.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Also call me crazy, but 38 games meaning graduated vs 24 doesn't make full sense to me.

This isn’t the dancing pageant list, fam.

For me right now:

Pretty soft, and the goalies are hugely hard to place.

I would be very surprised if 26+ play NHL hockey in their futures, even 1 game. I would be pretty surprised to see anyone 18+ play 100+ games. And I'd be very impressed if there was even 1 player between 6 and 17 that became anything more than replacement level in the NHL, but a handful of them will play a couple games.

Valimaki and Dubé should be impact players, potentially as soon as this year, though Dubé will have trouble finding roster space on the team as it stands.

Pelletier/Pettersen/Pospisil are players that I expect to become better-than-replacement NHLers, but I wouldn't be surprised if all three of them combined to play less than 100 games.

1	Valimaki
2	Dubé
3	Pelletier
4	Pettersen
5	Pospisil
6	Parsons
7	Zagidulin
8	Ruzicka
9	Wolf
10	Phillips
11	Tuulola
12	Nikolayev
13	Sveningsson
14	Feuk
15	Koumontzis
16	Zavgorodniy
17	Nodler
18	Gawdin
19	Roman
20	Gillies
21	Philp
22	Yelesin
23	Schneider
24	Lomberg
25	Lerby
26	Valiyev

If he can play RW, I think he'll be competing for a spot on the 2nd line. Also only asked for 10 prospects, but I don't mind if people decide to have more than 10 as well.

Neal's gonna be given the chance to redeem himself and they'll keep beating that dead horse for at least 40 games.

I don’t think he will get that much rope. If the Tkachuk-Backlund-Neal line is as bad as it was last year, it ain’t lasting long.

 

[Mazatt]

I wonder if there's a chance we test out something like Gaudreau - Lindholm - Neal around the start of the season/preseason

Edit: Meant this for somewhere else but oh well

the rise of MEP is interesting for me as an outsider. think he can be a top 6 guy?

 

[Volica]

Dubé isn’t a rookie anymore from an NHL point of view, just so folks are aware.

We should just keep him in our list anyway so it doesn't look so bad.

Does it ever.
After Valimaki, whom I think is a top 20-25 NHL prospect; that is a STEEP decline.

Some fun guys out of the 2018 draft, but they're all projects.

[Calculon]

Pettersen is already better than Dube

 

[Baxterman]

I think it is a long shot.

His rise in the ranking have to do more with their being nothing after Valimaki/Dube/Pelltier rather than him being a having a likely shot at making the team.

 

[Mobiandi]

All but one of our forward prospects is a project. Do we have worst forward farm system in the league?
