All week long, we've been counting down the top prospects outside of the NHL, looking at the next wave of stars and ranking their potential outcomes. It started with a three-part series looking at the top 100 affiliated skater prospects, and today we're wrapping things up with a look at the top 15 affiliated prospects in goal.
Though we don't have any prospect analytics at our disposal -- like pGPS or SEAL-adjusted scoring -- to help quantify a goaltender's progression, we're going to continue using tools grades that operate on a 1-to-9 linear scale.
As with our skater rankings, a goaltender's eligibility will be determined by whether they qualify for the Calder Trophy in the upcoming season, awarded to the NHL's best rookie.
What follows is an in-depth look at each of the league's 15 best goaltending prospects, and how they stack up against one another.
