Is Jeremy Swayman still an elite goalie or is he washed? Find out about what went wrong in this video. youtu.be/3FI4D03wmRk?si…

Time to set the record straight ⤵️ youtube.com/watch?v=x-Lsp1…

Whether it's the lack of opportunities, trade rumours, or the raised profile of Trey Augustine, I'm seeing way too much Sebastian Cossa slander on the timeline.

@NHL_Rosters @PuckPedia I think they need at least one more older middle 6 forward

Seattle Kraken offseason so far: IN: Mason Marchment Ryan Lindgren Frederick Gaudreau Matt Murray OUT: Andre Burakovsky Mikey Eyssimont Brandon Biro Nikolas Brouillard RE-SIGNED: Kaapo Kakko John Hayden Josh Mahura Tye Karteye Cale Fleury Ben Meyers puckpedia.com/lineups/seattl…

Who has the longest shutout streak in modern NHL history you ask? Patrick Roy? Dominik Hasek? Martin Brodeur? No silly, it’s Brian Boucher of course!

👎🏻

Congratulations Carter 👊 Big get for the gophers!

Doing some research of Jeremy Swayman for an upcoming project and wow did the #Bruins defense ever suck this year

A common theme I see from many sources is an overall skepticism of goalie prospects. Non goalie people tend to keep goalies really low, even when they could have serious starter potential which imo is a lot more valuable than the run of the mill okay middle 6 forward prospect.

@nickiacoban Where would Carter George land when considering he’s practically a 6th skater?

With a model update to address some of the big issues with the previous Top 100, here's an updated ranking! Overall, it's pretty similar but there are some significant changes. First of all, Jeremy Loranger is no longer the 8th best prospect. Post update he slots in at 38th, still much higher than most would even think about him but in a spot that I like him at based on his statistical profile. Zayne Parekh also jumps up a few spots, I saw some unhappy with him being out of the top 20. With this update, he's now being compared to more CHL guys which makes his production that much more impressive. Matthew Schaefer did fall post update which I found interesting. I wish he played more this season since his NHLe is among the best of defensive prospects in the past but because he only did it in 17 games, the model remains very cautious, even more now that it compares him to more OHL guys who match his 23-24 production instead of 24-25. The model sees him as a high ceiling but low floor type because of it. Those are three names that I wanted to point out but there's obviously way more names here than just these three.

@BarDown Jaroslav Halak

I’ll start: Phil Kessel. 👀⤵️

In a long list of important qualities in goalies, size is near the bottom. If a 5’11 goalie is better at goalie skills than someone who is 6’6, they are the better goalie.

Respectfully, I do not believe they’re capable of winning with this tandem. Skinner is okay when sheltered. He cannot carry the weight of a playoff team single-handedly and would be much better suited to the job that Pickard played and have someone else as the starter.

@LalimesMartian Can’t be dissing the goat Martin Biron’s number like that

I'm a huge Tyler Kleven guy. But... BUT I think we can all agree his jersey sales would go up 400% if he moved off of #43. 5, 10, hell even double nickels #55 would be better than 43.

My nickname in my middle school ball hockey league playing for the flyers was “Bernie Parent”. Bernie is one of the greatest to ever do it without question.

The NCAA goalie star power coming into this year is rather unheard of. Multiple top 10 teams highlighted by stars like Augustine (MSU), Yegorov (BU), and (MICH). This isn’t even mentioning Hrabal (UMass), Hammer (WMU), Boija (Maine), or Cournoyer (Cornell) among others

Maine Black Bears goalie Albin Boija is one of the best free agent goalies out there and if he were to be signed, would be a quality NHL prospect to add to any pool.

Here's a video breaking down Jack Ivankovic from earlier this past season: youtube.com/watch?v=DtpwPL…

Ivankovic to Michigan is a HUGE add between the pipes for Michigan and makes him easily the program's most reputable goaltender since Al Montoya (former 6th overall pick) and perhaps even Marty Turco.
