Goalie prospects, who do you like?

[Axeman33]

Frederik Anderson
Jeff Frazee
Martin Jones
Riku Helenius
Eddie Pasquale
Harri Sateri
Calvin Pickard
Chet Pickard
Jeremy Smith
Sami Aittokallio

If you had to pick one of these guys as a FA to place in your minors system, who would you take?

Do you think any of them have starter future or simply career AHL goalies?

Any future solid backups at the very least??

From what i have heard/read i would group them as,

starters: Frederik Anderson/Riku Helenius/Martin Jones/Harri Sateri
back up:Calvin Pickard/Eddie Pasquale/Jeremy Smith/Sami Aittokallio
Ahl:Jeff Frazee/Chet Pickard

I'm not an expert on tendy's by any stretch tho. That's where i have them all pegged. Some of the guys are longer shots then others, and most of the back ups above have had starter potential earlier in their careers so i guess you can't rule them out 100%.

Thanks for the reply and thoughts.

Rep to ya mate for taking the time and effort!

Jones, Andersen and Sateri basically all fall in the same position of having potential to be a starter but are stuck in with several good goalies ahead of them, at the NHL and lower level too. My feeling is Jones may be the closest, since I see the Kings having to trade Bernier by this off-season, though I think Andersen may have the best ceiling.

Thanks bud. Rep to you as well!

Anyone else got an opinion here?

Frederik Andersen is the best of this bunch IMO. He has been awesome these past 2.5 years. He is in tough competition for a NHL job with Fasth, Bobkov and Gibson all in the system, but this guy is huge, and he stops pucks wherever he plays. Simple as that.

Martin Jones is the most likely to get a backup job next (in my opinion) as it's only a matter of time before Bernier is moved. Jones has been very consistant over the years (save percentage about .910 for 6 years in a row).
