Bachman actually played pretty well for the Canucks on call up. I have hopes for Demko (no other choice) but the road is gonna be rocky, really rocky. He isn't stepping into the same team as Vas.
Will keep an eye on Husso, thanks for mentioning him fellas!
The sad part about that list, and don't get me wrong, that was just a random list from 2011, is that most of those names are known names because they were big prospects back in the day, but most of them never got any closer to the NHL then anything other then being a viable backup NHL goalie, a fringe one at that.
Much like the names being thrown in this list, I wont be surprised in five years time that someone digs up this thread and sees a lot of these names and most of them will probably be fringe backups as well with a couple (IMO at best) will be legit NHL starters. Unfortunately, it's just the way it is. This is why I rarely invest much in prospect goalies in most of my keeper leagues. I'd rather pay for actual NHL assets then pipe dreams and shiny names.
I wont lie, I will ask about prospect goalies like any other fantasy GM out there in my trade talks, I simply won't overpay for any of them. If the price is right (and it rarely is) I will bite.
I dont want to sound like a Debbie-downer and hope I am wrong here but facts are facts and the facts are that most high end prospect goalies end up being more than that. Unfortunately, minor leagues and fancy names don't win fantasy hockey leagues.
