The goalie who is rocketing up draft boards the quickest right now might be Ilya Samsonov. He was projected as a second or third-round pick for much of the year, but some analysts believe he could be taken late in the first round. Samsonov is the top European goalie in this class, coming out of Russia, and he may even be the top goalie in the whole class.
