How often have we seen a 15 yo goaltender in the Q? Let alone doing great?

Marc-Andre Fleury started in Q at 15. He's a late November birthday, so it was like 2 months; however both Fleury & D'aigle are from Sorel, so there's only 3 goalies in the last 25 years (Fleury, Fucale & D'aigle) to start at 15 years old, but 2 of them are from Sorel. Maybe he's a Fleury fan.

Sorel tracy is a well known goaltender factory

1) I don’t think will land top 2 so 3-11
-Fantilli/Carlson/ Yegar/ Sale/ Ritchie/ Allen/ Dvorsky/ Benson/ Stramel
2) going to assume 20 to 28 and that we took a FW with the 1st pick and unless there is a clear BPA I would go D and most likely RD and I would assume that Allen is already off the board
-Strbak / Dragicevic / Price
3) I assume we will be landing another late 1st round pick 28-32 and again if there isn’t a clear BPA I would go for a Goalie.
- Hrabal 6’6’’ he is athletic, a good puck handler /passer around is net and some pretty impressive stat, will see as the season progresses but right now I would be willing to use a late 1st, I would prefer early 2nd but we likely won’t get any pick in that range

Goes anyone have any info on Hrabal?
 
I can see us finishing between 5-10, and I’m getting visions of a Cameron Allen and Kaiden Guhle top pair!

Wow that’d be awesome!
 
Carlsson vs. Dvorsky might be the big debate this year. Thing is, it will be a hard debate to have as Dvorsky is fairly younger than Carlsson so their curves are not starting from the same point, Carlsson is proportionally ahead of Dvorsky right now. That being said, if Dvorsky reaches his potential I think he's the player we need more than Carlsson, he's a grinder, he goes in traffic, and he's massively different than Suzuki. Carlsson is also different than Suzuki, he's more high-end but I'm afraid they share a similar approach to the game that might be less constructive than having a grinding, goalscoring center.

There's a good chance Dvorsky will be available at 5... where the Habs may be picking.
 
Where do you guys see Gauthier being selected?? Late tens?? Late 1st? Also, who is his comparable?

Hard to say with the level of talent in that draft, but he's having a really great start. I would probably say top 20 but he could be there at 20-25.

For the comparable, I'm not really good with that but I would say Dustin Brown. Type of player that can compliment a duo in a top 6 that can:
- Finish play
- Go in front of the net and in dirty area
- F1 in forecheck
- He plays a physical game

How do you compare him with Poulin? Not the same IQ IMO but theyre somewhat close.

Gauthier is a better skater and plays at higher pace I think and Poulin is bigger, stronger and had a better shot.

At the start of the season, I would probably have said that Poulin was better (I really like Poulin in his draft year) but Gauthier seem to have taken his game at an other level and he does look better than Poulin.

I really liked Poulin too (Still do). Gauthier seems like a guy that plays at a high pace in junior and it lets him exploit juniors and Poulin exploited juniors with his IQ and the time he created with his size/strength.

Its tough to weed out the opportunists and the real deals.

Gauthier have a really high IQ too, I even think it's probably higher than Poulin.

He's always in the right spot and a great playmaker will love to play with him. The only thing with Gauthier, is that he doesn't really an ELITE tool that will make him a game changer and he won't be someone who will drive a line.
