I doubt 5 goalies get selected in the first round and I doubt Levasseur is the first goalie taken.

Wow, they have Price going 2nd. I have him being the 1st goalie picked.

Woodlief is out of his mind!!! levasseur won't get picked until the 3rd. round. Wait and see. I've seen Levassuer play half a dozen times this year and is no where near the prospect that Price is right now.

True he isnt right now. But its not about right now. Its about 5 years from now.

I had the opportunity to discuss with Rouyn-Noranda scouts and coaches 2-3 times in the last two years and they only had good things to say about the kid's character. I really like him as a player, and I think he has more upside than any other goaltender in this draft. Still, at this point, I understand that Price will be the first goalkeeper off the board, but I would definitely select Levasseur second, before Rask. As for Pavelec, I am not very high on him, despite his dramatic rise here in the last couple of months. The upside is good, but one the first quality I am looking for in goaltenders is the ability to control rebounds. IMO, considering the size most NHl forwards, you must control rebounds more than anything else.

My top 5 would be :

1-Price
2-Levasseur
3-Rask
4-Vincent
5-Pavelec

But I expect this order in the real draft :
1-Price
2-Rask
3-Levasseur
4-Pavelec
5-Vincent

All of them picked before the 55th selection...
