[Punch Drunk Loov]

There's huge upside in this one. Tremendous lateral movement and killer glove hand

Our goalie scouting has been on point in recent drafts so I'll take it. Good numbers in smaller leagie

[SprDaVE]

That name is going to give me a headache

 

[GQS]

Don't know why we need to waste more picks on goalies when we already have like 3 young goalies who are either playing in the NHL or could be soon.

 

[Stephen]

Gotta draft a goalie once a year, pretty good stockpile of them in the system at the moment.

Maybe they Anglicize it to Tim Obviously.

Fair point but you know how it is with goalies. Can't have enough of them.

You realize how long goalies take to develop right?

I'll just call him Timo or Obi when I'm posting how he did in games this year

You're lucky if one in five develop into something.

Obvintsev seems pretty straightforward as a name to me.

[RoadWarrior]

Finally a decent pick.

 

[JEI]

Injured most of his draft year, he's a re-entry.

If Woll or Hildeby are the real deal then you won't be needing to look for a goalie for a long while hopefully. If Akhtiamov also develops into becoming a good goalie then you have a log jam where someone has to go. And then there's Peksa who so far doesn't look like much and then now this guy. Way too many goalies for no good reason.

Would rather spend our picks on a forward or defenseman who have a better chance of developing into something and playing for the Leafs someday.

We have way too many already.

We have way too many already.

When it comes to goalie prospects, that's a problem you want to have

By the time this player could be NHL ready Woll will be in his 30's.

 

[GQS]

Well so far Woll is looking pretty decent and could be the starter if he can stay healthy and Hildeby looks fairly good behind him. Akhtiamov looks promising too. How many more do you need?

So is this an indefinite reserve list player?
