2018 NHL Draft: Goalie Rankings
The final position has come to cover for the upcoming 2018 NHL Draft. Due to the number of eligible goalies available and my low confidence in judging the position, the list has been cut down to the top 10.
#1.) Jakub Skarek, Jihlava (Extraliga)
A strong glove and reflexes resulted in fantastic numbers for Skarek as a teenager in Extraliga. Disappointing play during the World Juniors, but consistent and reliable since last year in Extraliga.
#2.) Olivier Rodrigue, Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL)
Quick legs along with strong rebound control. Put up decent numbers in a high scoring league in the QMJHL. Makes highlight reel saves.
#3.) Kevin Mandolese, Cape Breton Screaming Eagles (QMJHL)
