Who doesn’t love goalies?
We’ve seen no shortage of high-quality young puck-stopping talent making an impact in recent years. Ilya Sorokin, Igor Shesterkin, Jeremy Swayman, Logan Thompson, Stuart Skinner, Carter Hart, Thatcher Demko, Spencer Knight and Filip Gustavsson are just a handful of the more recent high-end options emerging in recent years.

Truly, this is one of the more intriguing goaltending prospect pools we’ve seen in a while. It features plenty of future No. 1s, as well as some who could be challenging for NHL starters just a few months from now. There’s good depth across the league.
For this exercise, we’re looking at goaltenders 23 and under and with fewer than 25 NHL games played. So both Carolina’s Pyotr Kochetkov and Toronto’s Joseph Woll are ineligible, despite both being solid prospects right now.
