If you're speculating about drafting a 15 year old kid who has only had 15 year old players firing the puck at him, then developing him, you might as well throw darts at the dart board with your eyes closed. Especially with the Rangers record of developing goalies.
I think the route to go is scout unsigned 16 or 17 year olds in Tier II or JrB. At least they're another year or two older and have faced a higher level of competition. Just too many moving parts with 15 year old goalies imo.
If we’re drafting a 15 year old in the next draft, he wouldn’t/shouldn’t be on next year’s roster IMO. Especially if Pfiel is the other goalie. If one of our other goalie prospects reports, Purcell for instance who’s an ‘02, and is the starter, it’s maybe a different story. Maybe.
