Let 5 in against the Americans, pump the brakes he's going nowhere
On 41 shot though. Still 0.929 svs% with 98 shots faced in less than 24 hours against two best teams of the tournament. Takes a lot less to be selected in 6th round. Next oponents are far less likely to spoil his stats than previous ones, and if Latvia ends up in the quarters, my bet is he gets drafted.

An NHL team will use a 7th round pick on him if he keeps this level of play up for the entire tournament.

If he doesn't get drafted, it won't be due to his average height. His movements are a little slow (especially side-to-side) and it feels like the NHL goalie pendulum is starting to swing back in favour of athletic goalies instead of blocking goalies.

That Buium got was pathetic. He didn't even give himself a chance to stop the shot. Was on his way down to his ground before Buium shot the puck, and Buium just patiently took his time to let him hit the ground and then put it in when he was all the way out of the play.

Can't be doing that. Have to give yourself a chance to make saves. Can't be flopping all over the place.

Might be why he's in his 19 year old year in the Q and has a SV% starting with an 8.

Anything under 6’4” is undersized for a goalie nowadays.
I too love the facts I make up but 42% of the goalies drafted this year (10/24) were the same size or smaller than Feldbergs' 6’2”. Not even going to go into the 6’4” thing which is completely ridiculous.

Sure, he is not the size that will score him any additional points, but you just threw out a random blanket statement.
