Totally idiotic this guy has not been drafted, just lends more fuel to my state of NHL goalkeeping hate.

Because he is not some big slow 6'4" 6'5" slug who just takes up space he is by passed.

It's pathetic.

He played just as well last year (arguably, maybe better) and still no NHL team took him. Even the Canucks took a 6'3 Ty Young over the Coquitlam-born Milic.

But that doesn't surprise me since the Canucks avoid local kids like the plague, for some reason.

Clark the goalie guru is pretty sizeist, but I can actually see the Nucks taking Milic this year.
 
I wonder if it makes sense to use draft pick for Milic this year. Just offer him a contract straight up when time comes.

Same with the oilers they took some lower end big swedish guy in the 5th round who will never see the light of day most likely. It's frustrating to me.

I don't know, taking a big Euro goalie in the late rounds seems to work out for some reason. But really it's a lottery ticket at that stage of the draft.
 
I stand corrected

Maybe somebody else could shed some light on this, but my understanding is that he is no longer eligible to be drafted (due to age) and is a free agent.
I have no idea when he is able to sign an NHL contract, but I would imagine there will be a handful of teams lining up at the door.

That is just wrong. He is in his last eligible year to be drafted. He could have been signed during the summer last year (after going undrafted) but wasn't.

I really liked both the goalies from last night thru the cup run here. Its really a shame that nhl scouts are such size queens when it comes to goalies. I see guys like these 2 undrafted bc they are small(ish) at 6' or so, but can play big, then you got Hrabl ranked high, who is a monster, but does a job of playing small and deep. Different way of getting to the same place.
