Kyle Jean is a decent prospent. He's huge and he has decent hands. Most importantly, he's rapidly improving, which is the key thing for a prospect.

Add Steven Delisle. He's big and could potentially develop enough to be a 6-7 defenseman. Better than what we can say about the remaining crop. He deserves to be an "Honorable Mention" at the end of the polling. (The 5 prospects who make it into the poll, but do not get voted in become honorable mentions.)

I really hope the next guy is NOT Stajcer. Missiaen played in a better league (ECHL > OHL, especially as an overager) and put up better stats. Stajcer couldn't even keep his job as a starter in his overager year, so how in the world will he be able to play pro, much less NHL hockey?

[Net Front Presence]

Voted Talbot.

[eco's bones]

Stajcer. Wilson.

[bernmeister]

Ceresnak. Add Steven Delisle.

Missiaen was equally if not more ****** in juniors. Tough to judge goalies in juniors based on stats. Stajcer played with a very good prospect in Jordan Binnington. Missiaen's final crappy junior campaign he played with two horrific goalies. If Binnington was on that team Missiaen would have been riding the bench as well.

If I remember, Missiaen had one good month and was otherwise extremely mediocre. Just like Stajcer, his issue is with consistency. I happen to think Stajcer has more natural talent. Neither are world beaters so it's not hard to justify Stajcer unless you focus solely on stats. Again, that's stupid to do with young goalies. Stat surfing young netminders will get you excited about guys like Chris Holt and Miika Wiikman. You really have to watch them to judge.

I'll take Stajcer over Missiaen nine times out of ten. JMO.

Patrick Roy put up less than stellar numbers in Jr. Just sayin'.

[Edge]

Went with Missiaen becaue I find him interesting.

At times he looks awful. At other times he looks like there is something there to work with.

None of these guys have wowed at this point.
