I'd say you'd have to include Ilya Bryzgalov in that list, but good one off the top of your head!

Nicely done! I think I would possibly have Harding and Toivonen a little higher and LeClaire closer to the 20 spot.

agreed, and as an EDM fan, i woudl have to put Jess Deslauriers ahead of Devan Dubnyk. Farther along in development, although both have fairly high potential.

Devan Dubnyk
Jason Bacashihua
Antero Niitymaaki
Dan Ellis
Ari Ahonen

Dan Ellis > Jason Bacashihua.

Cash was our 2nd rated goalie prospect at the time of being traded, he would've been 3rd if Tobias Stephan wouldn't have been injured. He hasn't done anything to improve his weaknesses whatsoever since being drafted, he's still inconsistent. Dan Ellis on the other hand has.

 

[SpItFiReZ]

1. Lehtonen
2. Fleury
3. Toivanen
4. Emery
5. Leneveu
6. Miller
7. Ouellet
8. Ahonen
9. Leclaire
10. Bryzgalov

I really don't think much of Montoya....I think Blackburn minus the injuries is the better goalie.......horrible pick IMO by Sather he didn't need more goalies especially to sign weekes....he's young sitll plus Lundqvist, Blackburn both top 30 if not top 20 goaltender prospects. Scwharz, JDD, Lundqvist, Nittymakii are all quality....pretty much everyteam has a solid prospect goalie

 

[Habdominal]

Here's my version of it

1-Kari Lehtonen
2-M.A. Fleury
3-Ray Emery
4-Ryan Miller
5-H Toivonen
6-H. Lundquist
7-Maxime Ouellet
8-David Leneveu
9-Pascal LeClaire
10-M Schwartz
11-Alvaro Montoya
12-Jeff Deslaurier
13-Antero Niitymaaki
14-Yann Danis
15-Cam Ward
16-Josh Harding
17-Devan Dubnyk
18- Konstantin Barulin
19-Jason Bacashihua
20- Kelly Guard

Now Included very high is H Lundquist wich I think will be a steal from the NYR. Konstantin Barulin who has such high potentiel, but might never play (ditto for Guard)

As for Bacashiuiha I don't know if he should be there but I've put him anyway

 

[Postman]

The underrating of Jimmy Howard continues. He's at least a top 20 goalie prospect, IMO.

 

[TomahawkSniper]

How about Alex Auld or Cory Schneider. Auld could snatch the #1 spot for the nucks whenever the next season is.

 

[Newfie Bruin]

Toivonen>Emery
Cam Ward, Josh Harding> Yann Danis
Bryzgalov..Where is he? He should be Top 10 on everyones list.

 

[JohnnyB11]

1. Lehtonen
2. Fleury
3. Bryzgalov
4. Toivanen
5. Schwarz
6. Ahonen
7. Ouellet
8. Miller
9. Niitymaaki
10. Montoya

That's a pretty good top 10 list right there!

That's fine. But then "who" you going to take off?

People always say "so and so should have been an all-star" and "so and so isn't making a Top X list".

That's fine. But then you have to say who comes off to put your guy on.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

It's great to see Toivonen in most people's top 5

 

[PhoPhan]

It's great to see Toivonen in most people's top 5

And a bummer that LeNeveu has made very few lists in general. The kid was an AHL all-star as a rookie on one of the worst teams in the league. He had several 40 and 50 save performances.

 

[Seachd]

I came up with a list last night, but I didn't bother ranking them. And I left out guys like Fleury and Sauve.

Ari Ahonen
Jason Bacashihua
Ilya Bryzgalov
Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers
Devan Dubnyk
Ray Emery
Josh Harding
Jimmy Howard
Pascal Leclaire
Kari Lehtonen
David LeNeveu
Henrik Lundqvist
Ryan Miller
Alvaro Montoya
Antero Niittymaki
Maxime Ouellet
Marek Schwarz
Hannu Toivonen
Cam Ward

 

[CH Wizard]

Wow Dubnyk is pretty underrated here.Anyways I pretty agree with all the rankings that the some posters made here.

 

[MrMastodonFarm*]

No room at the inn for the man with the iron stomach Andrei Medvedev?

 

[Debrincat93]

I'd say you'd have to include Ilya Bryzgalov in that list, but good one off the top of your head!

Not to mention that if Liv is on the list, Howard has to make it as well since Howard is "better" then Liv

 

[Newfie Bruin]

It's great to see Toivonen in most people's top 5

And he should be!!! We are going to have a nice tandem in goal and we will prob end up trading one ofthem. Good thing about that is, is we should get a good return!

 

[thestonedkoala]

Glad people are giving Harding his props...

 

[Postman]

That's fine. But then you have to say who comes off to put your guy on.

Sauve, Liv, LeClaire, Bacashihua, Ellis, Guard, and Barulin are all guys that have been mentioned that I would rank after Howard, for starters.
