They definitely didn't before but Blake seems to be ok with it. I'm skeptical because of the Kings previous luck.

Yeah if anything I wouldn't be surprised at them NOT drafting Euros at this point after having so many guys unwilling to come over thus far in Kubalik, Dergachyov, Prokhorkin...

Yeah I mean worst case scenario is both Kupari and Shafigullin never come to NA.

Reno Sucks!
People in the know raving about the goaltender they took 175th in-terms of upside.
Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch
The #LAKings get Jacob Ingham super late with pick #175. He had a rough go as a 17-year-old starter in the OHL, but I had one scout say that he still has the highest upside of any of the goalies in that league. #NHLDraft

Speak for the Goalies
For Jacob Ingham it was definitely a disappointing year. It looked like he was going to challenge Jakub Skarek for the top spot but then he just struggled to consistently keep his game together all year long. For Ingham it's a great fit to be drafted by LA as they can help him find that consistency. If they can help Jack Campbell, they can help Ingham. Anyways here is what you're getting with Ingham who finished 5th in my goalie rankings:
When Ingham is on his game he brings everything to the table you could want from a goalie in terms of physical gifts, technical skill, and hockey IQ. The issue for Ingham this season has been putting his skill set altogether for a consistent period of time. What Ingham has been consistent in is using a play style geared towards the technical part of the game. This comes from his stance which is compact knowing his frame is large enough to make up for bringing his arms in close. You’ll also see he rarely gets aggressive in his challenging knowing how dangerous passes can be and that being more aggressive barely helps him take up the minimal amount of net he’s not already covering. This desire to not leave the crease also goes into his puck handling ability which shows flashes of potential but doesn’t play the puck enough to show definite skill one way or another. His technical proficiency also extends to how he moves around the crease. Ingham is very good at moving around the crease on his feet as he’s quick and able to keep his form together allowing him to be set early. Also has good core strength which allows him to go to his knees then back to his feet again very quickly.
Where Ingham has been seeing inconsistency in his physical skills is when he activates his edges. When he’s on his game he’s able to use his edges to get around the crease almost as quickly the best goalies in this draft class. When he’s not on his game he’s noticeably unable to hold his edges causing him to go into an early scramble. The saving grace for Ingham is if the opposing team doesn’t quickly take advantage of the fact that’s he lost his edge Ingham has shown he’s capable of recovering back to his feet and in position. Also as mentioned above Ingham does very well in keeping his form together when moving around the crease on his feet however when it comes to using his edges in moving around the crease via slides you can see that his blocker is trailing. Inconsistency also creeps into his puck tracking and it’s most noticeable at the start of games. It can take him a period or so to get comfortable with tracking shots into his body leading to questionable goals against and dangerous rebounds.
On tracking the puck around the ice Ingham does a good job and is supplemented by his ability to read the play. The only spot that Ingham struggles at following the puck is when it’s behind the net. Ingham is able to get himself in position often enough to make a good save but when his inconsistency hits it hits hard. This high high’s and low low’s type of play shows up in his final Impact Rating results. Despite seeing a higher than average rate of Medium Danger Area shots he posts an above average Impact Rating. It’s nearly the same when it comes to shots directly off of passes where he posts an Impact Rating better than the CHL average. Yet when it comes to Low Danger Area shots Ingham is below average with the silver lining being he’s not below average by a whole lot. So looking at Ingham’s analytics we can see the promise is right there and even though he’s having bad games statistically his analytics aren’t bad but more in the slightly below average category. Working on that consistency will see Ingham quickly fly back up prospect rankings after his DY+1.
