    Default Any of these Goalies worth drafting?

    We can draft all goalies who are NHL draft eligible/ are already drafted and havent played any games in NHL yet.

    Some names that are not already owned/ drafted in our league:
    - Sorokin
    - Oettinger
    - Soderstrom
    - Samsonov
    - Kahkonen
    - Shesterkin
    - Montembeault
    - Hart

    If you would draft any of these names how early would you pick one? Jarry and Gillies will be available from waivers but we can only pick them if they are expected to play. Any hope that either of those would start the season @nhl?

    All the goalies that start with the letter S are studs!!
    Soderstrom and Sorokin are gonna fight eachother so tough to choose.
    Samsonov is the best goalie but behind Holtby. Tough to get in front of him but could always be traded for a win now move at the trade deadline
    Sheshtyorkin is next in line to take over the NYR net with the king almost done at 36

    The rest are far away.
    The ones above are still all 3 year away.


    Calgary has Smith and Lack so Gillies will get the main minutes in the AHL

    Pittsburgh has Murray and Niemi so Jarry will get #1 minutes in the AHL.

    So don't pick either

    Impossible to say how early they should be drafted when we don't know which players are available. If it was just the 2017 draft class, I would start considering drafting a goalie around pick #20. If there are more skater prospects available, then goalies get pushed back even further.

    Oettinger landed in a great situation and Dallas actually traded up to get him, so I'm very interested to see how his development goes. But we're looking at something like 2023-2024 before he's a starting goalie in the NHL, so I wouldn't really want to wait that long. The three Russian goalies are perhaps only 4 years away from being NHL starters, so that's why I'm not too worried about them staying in Russia for now... as long as they don't stay there forever. But that's the risk with Russians.
