Olof Lindbom - Djurgardens IF J20 - 3.10 GAA, .897 SP% in 20 games
Lindbom owns a poised, focused game. He maintains a consistent demeanor, no matter what goes on in a tilt, and is able to shake off goals quickly. The Swede moves well in the blue paint, keeping himself in position with quick lateral movements.

Olivier Rodrigue - Drummondville - 2.54 GAA, .903 SP% in 53 games
Much like Lindbom, Rodrigue has a calm demeanor to him, easily settling into games and keeping his focus no matter what is thrown at him. He's not the biggest goaltender in this year's draft class but his strong positioning has allowed him to thrive in the QMJHL.

Justus Annunen - Karpat U20 - 2.31 GAA, .907 SP% in 26 games
In addition to a strong season with Karpat, the Finn was lights out for his country this year, helping them capture gold at the U18's with 2.00 GAA and a .914 save percentage. He has an NHL frame - 6-foot-4, 207-lb. - and reads plays very well, staying in position and tracking the puck at a high level.

Amir Miftakhov - Irbis Kazan - 1.91 GAA, .934 SP% in 26 games
Miftakhov could be the most athletic goaltender in this year's draft class, possessing a unique blend of speed, agility and sharp reflexes. He has an excellent glove hand and rebound control. He's stands only 6-feet tall but his balanced skill set makes up for his smaller frame.
