How could you forget Micheal McNiven in net man

Samsonov is definitely #1 in the goalie section. Just had the best season in KHL history as a 19 year old.

But I like the list otherwise.

these aren't even close.

missing Kirill Kaprizov ; Phil Myers instead of Jakub Zboril ; Ho-Sang isn't very much of a prospect anymore (drafted in '14, still can't produce at the AHL Level) ; Thomas Chabot also

this is very rugged outline of top prospects : not really a whole hell of a lot from the '15 or '16 draft

Because I think all of those goalies are better than McNiven

I'd actually say Carter Hart is better

The goalies mentioned haven't even put numbers near as good as him. And he wasn't even drafted.

Kaprizov agreed to a long term deal in the KHL so I didn't count him, Ho Sang has a legit shot at winning the Calder next year

Then you would be insane haha nothing against Hart, I think he's really good, but he still has a lot to prove. He's only in the WHL. Samsonov just put up the best KHL stats EVER by a 19yo goalie.

Carter Hart has better numbers

no he doesnt. like at all. its going to either be Patrick or someone like PLD or anyone along those lines

What's so great about McNiven's numbers? They look pretty average to me. Tyler Parsons puts up numbers like that in his sleep.

Not sure where you are getting that Kaprizov contract from....signed a 3 year deal back in 2015

Hart/Parsons/Samsonov are all going to be studs

They have all put up better numbers than him.

won CHL goalie back in '16 I believe. damn impressive for a 17 year old

Yes he does, like a good one lol. Even Bob McKenzie said Ho Sang was his favorite to win the Calder next year

Carter Hart Stats '16-'17) : 1.99 GAA ; .927 SV%

Michael McNiven Stats: ('16-'17) : 2.30 GAA ; .915 SV%

Carter Hart went 32-11-2 with a .927 Save % and 1.99 GAA
McNiven went 41-9-2 with a .915 Save % and 2.30 GAA while winning the CHL Goalie of the year award.

well Jesus then...stop thinking for yourselves and listen to Bob McKenzie

Hart won the same award as an 17 year old

I mean I think I'd rather listen to an accredited NHL reporter than a user on capfriendly but hey think what you want bud

True. But Samsonov has been playing against men the last 2 years in the 2nd best league in the world as a 18 and 19 year old. 46GP, 2.08GAA, .931sv%. But still, both these guys are really good.

I mean I'd rather have independent thoughts, but hey don't always believe that you think

Guess your right, but I still believe McNiven should be on that list for sure.

yeah. I'd rive Samsonov the edge due to the league. very close though
