No wolf

Fixed

 

[A1LeafNation]

I know it's 2019 and after but goalies like Ersson and Hofer are younger than Kochetkov that would probably make the top 10 list.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

I know it's 2019 and after but goalies like Ersson and Hofer are younger than Kochetkov that would probably make the top 10 list.

Is Ersson a prospect though? He's 24 and an NHL starter.

 

[Czechboy]

Lukas Parik

Jan Bednar

Patrik Hamrla

Michael Hrabal

There is my Top 4. 5th is undrafted Tomas Suchanek.

 

[Czechboy]

Spencer Knight

Pytor Kochetkov

Dustin Wolf

Yaroslav Askarov

Jesper Wallstedt

Adam Gajan

These guys seem like they might be okay too.lol

My fav is Wallsetdt of the group.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Is Ersson a prospect though? He's 24 and an NHL starter.

So is Kochetkov?

Both still considered rookies this year.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Portillo is traded to LA.

Probably not but its certainly debatable.

Bedard is a rookie and not considered a prospect.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Askarov is nr 1 by a land mile

 

[Freaky Styley]

Sogaard?

 

[Random schmoe]

I won't rank him vs others, but Clay Stevenson was undrafted (first eligible back in 2017) and in his second professional season, 29 games in the AHL total, he leads the A this year in save percentage (.930) and GAA (1.89). Yes, he's older than most prospects, but it's not like he has a lot of experience in Pro hockey. The Caps organization, with a good history in goalie development, are pretty high on him.

 

[LeProspector]

No live for Levi, what happened to him?

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

No live for Levi, what happened to him?

He’s been Buffaloed

 

[kings11]

Still a few years away but Hampton Slukynsky from the Kings is a kid to keep your eyes on

A lot of people sleeping on Jets prospect Dom Divincentis (2004). In my opinion he’s much higher than most on your U20 list

I'm surprised Clara didn't make your U20 list. What he is doing as an 18/19 year old in a mens league is truly noteworthy. And at 6'5" he has the size to be a #1 NHL goalie.

 

[drew5580]

How’s Scott Ratzlaff (BUF) doing in his D+1?

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Askarov by a country mile

wallstedt is mid

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

A lot of people sleeping on Jets prospect Dom Divincentis (2004). In my opinion he’s much higher than most on your U20 list

0.891 at 20 in OHL dude

 

[GTA]

Sergei Ivanov (CBJ 2022)

Love that you just snuck your teams prospect in there. In no world is this 5’10 goalie one of the best prospects.

 

[DollardStLaurent]

If I'm looking for goalies with upside, I'd look toward Russia,
