G Jesper Wallstedt (2021, 20th, MIN)

I'll never understand why Edmonton didn't take this guy.

 

[AKL]

So both guys are towards the top of their league in sv%. One guy is playing in one of the top 5 men's leagues in the world, the other is playing in one of the top 5 junior leagues in the world.

Doesn't mean anything about what they end up becoming, but one guy is definitely playing above the other right now.

I hope we're not going to hear stuff like this anytime either prospect does something bad/good. As of right now Cossa has had a stellar start in juniors, Wallstedt has been just okay in SHL (with a really good game yesterday). So difficult to compare, different leagues, different continents.

you think im basing this on one game...I watched him and Askarov at the U17s in and been a fan since...

 

[Jagge11]

Very hard to compare across 2 different leagues like that but I'm not sure .919 is more impressive than a .953 regardless of league strength. I wouldnt be surprised if save percentage on average is higher in the SHL than in the WHL to be honest. These guys are going to get compared at every step of the way though so we might as well get used to it for at least like 5 years, if not more lol

SVS% for the whole SHL has so far been 89.7%.

No but it's still very early in their careers. Goalies are hard to predict. Impossible to say where these two will be in 2-3 years.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Maybe both Cossa and Wallstedt will be really good?

That's the hope. But us Wings fans remember the Tom McCollum vs Markstrom debate.

Ouch.

the WHL is actually 89.7% too

weird how they're tied like that

So SAAB has gotten out of cars, and into goalie pads?

Hard to compare like that. The bad teams might be realy bad and the good realy good. We only know when both goalies play on equally good defensive teams in NHL. So never...

[JiricekSaveUs]

Looks like he has the potential to be a real good one

[JiricekSaveUs]

Lambos aaaaaand Wallstedt….

 

[MuckOG]

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

He’s the best goalie in the organization

^^^Is that good or bad?

He's facing an easy-ish workload but still making more saves than expected.

Not sure why his backup Lassinantti is facing so much tougher workload though.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Not sure why his backup Lassinantti is facing so much tougher workload though.

Because some people still think he's the best goalie in the league so he gets all the tough starts.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Lambos aaaaaand Wallstedt….

I said it after the draft on the Minni board, you and Detroit f***ing killed that draft.

Be interesting following his progression over the next few years.

they really are. askarov's draft season and d+1 looked awesome and now he is in the russian second league. who knows

Not true, Lassi has faced 3 teams so far:

Timrå(who are dead last in the standings), Skellefteå(#5), & Oskarshamn(#7). Oskarshamn he has played two times.
