    What are people’s thoughts on him? Does he take the reigns soon? Is he considered high end?

    I think in terms of value he's in that third tier of prospect goalies, right around guys like DiPietro, Luukkonen, and Primeau.

    Tier 1:

    Shesterkin, Sorokin, Samsonov, Demko, etc.

    Tier 2:

    Blackwood, Petersen, Merzlikins, Gustavsson, etc.

    Tier 3:

    Nedeljkovic, DiPietro, Luukkonen, Primeau, Kahkonen, etc.


    He's definitely got some interesting upside going forward, and he could have an impact sooner than DiPietro, Luukkonen, or Primeau types. He's got a season in the AHL under his belt, and I would expect he's probably the heir apparent to Dubnyk at this point, who is 33 years old with two seasons remaining on his contract. He's definitely someone I've been keeping tabs on for the past couple seasons, and I like what I've seen.

    What Mound said. I have been watching him a bit as well, have him tabbed as a "B" level prospect, but will likely get a shot sooner than any of the guys on this list.

    He'll be a backup before he gets a starting big I'd imagine. Unfortunately, Doobie still has two years left on his contract and his backup Stalock just re-signed to an affordable contract for 3 years. A lot can change in a year or two but hes going to have to force Minnys hand before we see him any time soon.

    He's at least two years out, if not more, if I were to guess.
