In league counting W/GAA/Sav%/Shutouts, how do you rank the following prospect goalies this year, and next?

Dostal
Wolf
Levi
Ingram
Tarasov

Thanks,

Note that this is highly volatile, as Wolf & Levi can make strides in a hurry. Also Gibson can change this in a hurry, by moving on. Elvis' injury is also a factor.

Ingram - Has a starter's job, more or less. That's the volume you want. Team is sneaky better than expected.

Wolf/Levi - Levi has the better situation, as he's not got Markstorm in front of him. Wolf is clearly ready, though. I'd prefer Wolf, as he's a safer bet, but these two guys are in a similar tier.

Dostal - he's got a backup role, at the minimum, which neither Wolf nor Levi have locked down, but.. there is the albatross of John Gibson's contract in the way for him and his team.

Tarasov is last, due to not being in the NHL right now, and having Elvis ahead of him who is not trying to get out of town. Elvis is currently out, so he has an opportunity to cement a backup job.

Ingram is the top one as he has grab the #1 goalie job in Arizona which is an improving club.

I believe Levi has the most upside of the remaining goalies. The problem in Buffalo is the defense seems lost sometimes.

Slightly behind Levi is Dostal. He has shown flashes of brilliance in the beginning of this season an many were saying he was ready to take over the #1 goalie position than, but he hit a rough spot as that happens with young goalies. The Ducks also have the same issue as Buffalo at times with their defense looking lost at times. The Ducks though are really full of young defense players.

Wolf is someone who is getting his chance and should thrive. I think other than Ingram he maybe the next #1 goalie if he shows he can take it while Markstrom is out. Vladar is not the answer for the #1 job there.

Then there is Tarasov who has skills to be a #1 goalie, but might have the toughest time getting there. Elvis seems to be set at #1, but he does get injured a lot. Then there is Jet Greaves who many seem to really like in the organization even though he doesn’t have the skills of Tarasov.

at one point one of the Dobber writers put up a piece (I saw it recently but can't find it now) about the ages when prospect goalies make it, and compared the ages of star prospects, average prospects, etc. Anyone have a link to that article?
