Peter Thome is a goalie prospect in the Columbus Blue Jackets system, currently on the reserve list. We drafted him in the 6th round (155th overall) in 2016. He spent 5 years playing in the NCAA, which i didn't even think was possible, at least in hockey (4 years at the University of North Dakota, 1 year at the University of St. Thomas) and is currently 24 years old. In his sophomore year at UND, he put up a GAA of 1.37, a SV% of .935, and 2 shutouts in 11 appearances, so he has good potential, but in his most recent year, his 1st at St. Thomas, he put up a lackluster 4.24 GAA and .872 SV% in 10 appearances. Will he play a game at the NHL (or even AHL) level at this rate? Is this another Merzlikins/Sorokin situation, or is he just a lost cause at this point?

Well, he was drafted in the 6th round, and hasn't done anything much his five seasons since. Yea, some goalies develop late, but sure looks like a non NHLer, or maybe not even a pro at this point.
Bobcat205 and A_Habs_fan liked this.

He's one of those reserve list guys who will not sign and just stay there until his rights expire
