Ive been monitoring a few goaltending prospects currently playing in the CHL that are unowned in my dynasty league.
Nathan Lieuwen - 20yo 6'5" 192lbs plays for Kootenay Ice (WHL) 6th Round Pick of the Buffalo Sabres in 2011
Louis Domingue - 19yo 6'3" 183lbs plays for Quebec Ramparts (QMJHL) 5th Round Pick of the Phoenix Coyotes in 2010
Ty Rimmer - 19yo 5'11" 170lbs plays for Tri-City Americans (WHL) Undrafted
Michael Houser - 19yo 6'2" 190lbs plays for London Knights (OHL) Undrafted
Brandon Maxwell - 20yo 6'0" 190lbs plays for Sarnia Sting (OHL) 6th Round Pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2009
Clearly all of these goalies are having tremedous success at the junior level. My question is how do you project how they will perform at the pro level? Rimmer and Lieuwen both have sub 2.00 GAAs. Im pretty well stunned with their records too 10-3/10-4-3 respectively.
I wanna like Lieuwen, his numbers are amazing but he has a tough hill to climb in the Sabres organization with Miller and Enroth pretty firmly entrenched.
Domingue is playing junior hockey for arguably the greatest goaltender ever, Patrick Roy and that has to help boost his confidence/better his play in someway. I know PHX has Visentin in the system but I think Domingue is an interested guy to keep an eye out for.
What do you guys know about these netminders that I possibly dont and should know? Im about to kick Allen York off my farm team and want to replace him with either Lieuwen, Domingue or Joni Ortio.
