When I was a kid any NHL goalie who wasn't 1, 29, 30, or 35 was sus.Its like a number for a goalie that had 5 goalies injured in front of him.
Cristall's performance is pretty eye-popping so far. As someone who hasn't seen him play or know much about prospects, how should we read into this? what do we think he could become at the NHL level? Or is it just a product of not being able to go to the AHL and being too good for his league?
His play is certainly better than last year, due to improved skating and strength. They *really* worked on his skating this summer, and it’s been a major factor in his numbers.Cristall's performance is pretty eye-popping so far.

And Sikora for the Czechs.
yeah, he is much better but also this is his 4th season in CHL due to dumb rules. He has outgrown so kinda expect him to dominate. But what he is doing is beyond that and he should definitely be on this team. Might get snubbed because Canada hates the Caps.His play is certainly better than last year, due to improved skating and strength.

I also DO think he’s too good for his league, and should absolutely be in Hershey.
No, not THAT Petr Sykora.
The other one!
Belarus isn't sending a team.Did little Protas make his team?
Athletic's latest WJC prediction has Cristall on the top line with Catton and Ritchie. They do not have Cam Allen making it, but Wheeler gives him a shout out for his strong season thus far.The plot thickens.
That is good to hear about Cristal. IIRC, Allen was at one point considered a potential first round pick. We got him in the 4th. Would be nice to see that actually pan out. We will see. At least we know he’ll be in Hershey next year (he is already signed).Athletic's latest WJC prediction has Cristall on the top line with Catton and Ritchie.

Cameron Allen gets a shot. Twice captain at the U18 level internationally.
Yeah, it will lower his production, but is probably better for him in the long run.Leonard playing with Jellvik & Gasseau
Not a fan. Jellvik is just not good. I don't mind Gasseau but not having hagens or perreault be the center just make no sense.Leonard playing with Jellvik & Gasseau
