Is 15 th really that high ? Huge , good numbers .

 

[Romang67]

Didn't know Hildeby was so highly rated.

15th among goalie prospects isn't very high. Maybe 3-5 of these will become long term starters. Maybe.

First 5 or so look promising but yah goalies are a unique breed

 

[gsharpe]

I'm not too high on cossa but I wouldn't change his position either. Goalies are weird

Love seeing Silovs at 6th but I think Tolipilo will be the nucks future #1. He was raw coming into the system but Ian Clark said he's got the most potential of any goalie he's ever worked with and really came on last year in Abby. Thank God Benning basically gave Clark full autonamy to run every aspect of goaltending, set us up for years.

Does anyone know if other teams allow their goalie coach that much control like who gets drafted or acquired?

How is Fowler ahead of Augustine? Just Habs homers?

Augustine was drafted 30 spots ahead of him for a reason. We saw it at the WJC as well, where he won the starting job and posted much better numbers. And then was very good in the men's WC, a team Fowler didn't even make.

The Athletic had Fowler at 3 ahead of a few of the other guys

It’s an odd one. At minimum we can say that the US prefers Augustine over Fowler.

Good to see Levi hasn't dropped for being short, yet.

15th among goalie prospects isn't very high. Maybe 3-5 of these will become long term starters. Maybe.

If history is any indication, this list will be a good preview of AHL starters in 3 years and ECHL starters in 5 years.

Surprised no Yegor Zavragin

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Surprised no Yegor Zavragin

It gets really hard to differentiate goalie prospects after like the top 10. Is Zavragin better than Kolosov, an HM? How about Bjarnason, both of whom philly drafted in 2023, 2nd round for Bjarnason and 3rd round for Zavragin?

From a Toronto perspective, is there such a major difference between Akhtyamov and Hildeby that one is a top 20 in the league and the other isn't even an honorable mention? There are just too many goalies all around the same quality (Zavragin and Akhtyamov being good examples) but scattered through too many leagues for everyone to watch them all and have an actual accurate list of where these guys rank in regards to each other.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Maybe three or four become a starter .Goalies are Voodoo.
