11. Trent Miner / L / FEB 01/ Vancouver / WHL

Solid progression through the ranks. Quick movements, agile — he can make the big save. Sometimes gets too wide or far from the net but recovers to his center well. Should have a good draft + 1 year. Clean up and shorten his patrol area and he could be a smart pick up.

12. Hunter Jones / L / SEP 00 / Peterborough / OHL

Pretty calm, cool, and collected. Technical but not sure I see the athletic skills to make the NHL as a starter these days. I still like the overall package and think, on the whole, Jones is better than your average mid-round CHL drafted goalie.

13. Lucas Rheyneuclaudes / L / FEB 01 / Djurgardens / SuperElit

Covers a ton of net and forces shooters to find the corners as he doesn’t let in many soft goals. Djugardens is a great team and he was behind a good prospect this year (NYR Olof Lindblom). I imagine next year he should break out. His resume is good. Why not throw a pick at him, as he should be available late in the draft.
