<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Wheeler literally mentions it in his prospect pool rankings article he does every January-February. Minnesota ranked 3rd. Only the Kings and Sabers were considered to have better prospect pools.
"3. Jesper Wallstedt, G, 19 (Lulea HF)
Wallstedt’s the best goalie prospect on the planet for me. And that’s not meant as a slight to Iaroslav Askarov, or Sebastian Cossa, or even Devon Levi and Dustin Wolf (who belong in that group). He’s back to robotic levels this season after briefly showing signs that he might be human in the second half of last season. He’s a big 6-foot-3 (he fills the net for his size), plays sharp lines positionally, he holds those lines, he swallows the first shot so that he doesn’t have to make a ton of second saves, his movement is compact, he tracks through layers incredibly well to find pucks, and he reads opposing shooters beautifully so that he’s rarely beat cleanly. He’s got all of the makings of a No. 1 starter. If he can develop a little more quickness (he’s strong across the net and low-to-high on pushes, but I wouldn’t say his feet are super fast) he’ll be an elite goaltender in the league."
-------------------------
As for Pronman, Wallstedt was the first goaltender he listed during his annual best 23 and under in the NHL article back on Jan 12.
"47. Jesper Wallstedt, G, Minnesota
Nov. 14, 2002 | 6-foot-3 | 214 pounds
Drafted: No. 20 in 2021
Sept. 2021 Ranking: 73
Tier: Projected bubble top and middle of the lineup player or quality starting goaltender
Skating: Below NHL average
Hockey sense: High-end
Wallstedt is having a fantastic campaign in Sweden, and looks like the best goalie outside the NHL right now. His pure athletic tools never blow you away in terms of his quickness or size, but his sense and technical skills are outstanding. He always makes the right reads, has elite efficiency in his movements and knows how to position his body and stick to keep pucks out of the net."</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Legendsofthenorth</b></div><div>Why would you make that statement then with 8-21-21 rankings? There has been a whole season that has been played. And then contradict it by saying Knight has played 32 games this year so he isn't a prospect. Something doesn't pass the smell right here</div></div>
This is the last time I saw goalie prospect rankings and haven’t seen any come out since. Obviously knight played in the league this year so I no longer consider him a prospect. Askarov and Wallstedt haven’t, so I consider them prospects and use the last rankings I saw to rank them. You’re making a mountain out of a mole hill- my opinion on goalie rankings is completely irrelevant

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Every prospect scout and writer/analyst in the business currently disagrees with that assessment. Wallstedt currently ranks as the #1 goalie prospect across the board. It's more or less unanimous, at this point.
Both Wheeler and Pronman of the Athletic.
The Hockey Writers
EliteProspects
Dobberprospects
Bader
The list goes on and on.
Askarov is typically either #3 or #4 by current listings by those same publications. Spencer Knight is #2.
Regardless, Wallstedt has franchise potential and his considered floor is that of a NHL backup. He's about as sure of a thing as one can get when it comes to goaltending.
Yegor's a nice player. But Wallstedt's ceiling outstrips his by miles.</div></div>
I don’t consider Knight a prospect- he played 32 games this past season. When did these guys release their rankings? Last I saw for Pronman and Wheeler, they had Askarov 1, Knight 2, and that was 8/21. Thanks for the heads up that I’m going by outdated info, I don’t want to look like a moron using outdated info

Unproven at the NHL level. He’s not better than Askarov. No sense in giving up a proven asset for someone who may not be any good when we’re not in a cap crunch

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Whatever plan NYR go forward with- next summer’s cap crunch has to be a big consideration….
I’m not saying the plan here is terrible- but it does leave a big issue next summer- roughly 20M to put another 10 or 11 players under contract- and a few guys will most likely command sizeable raises. So if this is the route to go- maybe Vatrano on a 1 year deal??</div></div>
Right. If they give Laf PP1 time, he’ll pot 30- not unreasonable given how awesome their first unit and that he had 19 at even strength. Once that happens he may command 5M+, which makes the crunch even worse

“The outsider”- I live in Jersey, every one of my friends is a rangers fan and watch them all the time. It’s not apples and oranges from a cap perspective. From a play style perspective, yeah, they’re not similar. You’re not trading all of your future depth and ELC’s. It’s one guy. One guy who’s easily replaceable. And you laugh about the window, but realistically the rangers have 3-4 more years to win a title before that windows closed

Lol it’s not over my head. I’m talking strictly about on ice value and how Ranger fans hype Schneider up to be something he’s not. Yeah the ELC is important, but to not move him for a bonafide 1B center who fits your contending timeline makes 0 sense- especially when you can slide Lundkvist in there and have an extra ELC year! Difficult stuff to comprehend, I know

You would think Braden Schneider is Orr and Lindstrom combined. He’s just big and physical. Didn’t play all that well in the regular season and was exposed in the playoffs. But he’s already a hall of famer and worth 30 first rounders
