This was actually a decent year for goalies imo. They have 2 established starters after only 5 years (Samsonov and Blackwood), 2 guys that have been good backups with starter/1B potential down the road (Hill and Montembeault) and two guys who have shown that they may also make it as regulars in the nhl at some point (Vladar and Dacord)

On top of those 6 guys you have Sandstrom in Philly who looks promising, and there is always a chance that someone else makes it later in their career as a backup.

Compare that to 2013,2014 and 2016 where the top goalies are Saros/Jarry, Demko/Ndjelkovic, and Hart/??, this draft is above average. The only draft that I can think of that is better recently is 2012 where all of Hellebuyck/Vasilevskiy/Andersson/Murray/Ulmark/Korpisalo were drafted. And 2012 is possibly the best goalie draft of all time...

Drafts in the past 10 years have shown just how hard it is to pick goalies.

I’m thinking 5 years from now we confirm this is better than the 03 draft. Looking like it is.

So far, goalies don't break out until like 25/26 so when this class shirt 30 we will know.

The 2003 Draft had 15 players who played 1000 games (12+ seasons), 44 who played 500 (6+ seasons and 58 who played 250 (3+ seasons) and also 5 goalies who had established NHL careers, 3 as starters mostly and 2 as backups (likely 1 HHOF goalie)

The 2015 Draft so far has in my estimation 8-12 players on pace for 1000 games, 40-55 players on pace for 500 games and about 75 who could play 250 games with 6 goalies who look like they will have decent nhl careerys (2 as starters and 4 as likely backups.

Of the top 10 players in each draft, the average p/gp of the top 10 players in 2003 is 0.76 and ranges from Ryan Getzlaf to Mike Richards. In the 2015 draft so far the top 10 players have an average p/gp of 0.92 and ranges from McDavid to Konecny.

My prediction is that 2003 will have MORE top end guys by the end of their careers, but 2015 will have a better players composing the top end as well as more players who have mediocre NHL careers. As far as goalies go, it looks very similar right now, but I give the edge to 2003 unless Samsonov or Blackwood can carve out a HHOF career somehow.

Only time will tell though

This is true, however most goalies that breakout at some point will have played a few games earlier in their careers.

The guys to watch out for are Joey Daccord, Aiden Hill, Dan Vladar and Sam Montembeault. No one other than those 4 who could even challenge the two in this team in my mind
