Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Space wasn't close to ready in the pre-season games I watched last year. Hope that has changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalptrash Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Hlavaj is the most likely to make it, IMO. Although he is already 24, two years older than Wallstedt. Overall, not too much excitement on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undrafted guy who seemingly came out of nowhere (well slovakia i suppose) to put together a rather impressive campaign in the IIHF world cup on the international stage, and then has put together respectable numbers down in Iowa playing with the same teammates and competition that Wally's struggled against this year. The Wall put up a 9-14-4 record, 0.879s% last season in the AHL and we're trying to figure out how to get him to the big club and SillyG's telling him to get an apartment in St Paul, while The 'Vaj put up a 14-14-4 record, 0.904s% and he's not even cracking our top 17 prospects? I've not watched either of these guys extensively, nor do I consider myself to be an evaluator of goalie talents, so what am I missing?

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 16 minutes ago Share Posted 16 minutes ago You're missing goalies are like ping pong balls. The just bounce around all over the place and you just hope they stop the puck 90% of the time. That or Fleury, who was a ping pong ball attached to Slinkies going down spiky stairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a .888 in the ECHL, hasn't been below .900 in the AHL, had has been stellar (>.910) in international play. Hopefully Guerin gives him a couple games in the N this year, I just hope its not a need due to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
