(a) have the potential to be well above average or even league leading goalies were they to start
(b) just might pick up full time gigs over the next season or two
The available goalies in this league:
Ray Emery
Anton Khudobin
Thomas Greiss
Leland Irving
Al Montoya
Mathieu Garon
Dan Ellis
Jake Allen
Brian Boucher
Josh Harding
Chris Mason
Danny Taylor
Chad Johnson
Eddie Lack *
Anders Nilson
Kevin Poulin
Cedrick Desjardins
Matt Hackett * - Likely Min's future, stud #1 G
Martin Jones
Richard Bachman
Jeff Zatkoff
Dustin Tokarski
If you had to choose 4 names from the above list to be the future of your team, who would you choose? I understand that nothing's guaranteed and most of these guys may never get the starting gig, but who do you think has the best chance above to be special?
Thanks
The two I bolded are the only ones with high upside and likely will be starting goalies. Harding and Greiss may be starters in a year or two. For now Khudobin and Montoya are good back ups.
