At # 17 on our countdown, we again find ourselves looking at a tall, young goaltending prospect, this time, from North America:
#16 - Ryan Bednard- Goalie- Youngstown Phantoms (USHL)
Highest Rank: 12 Lowest Rank: 18
My previous entry in this series was a look at Swedish goaltending prospect Hugo Fagerblom, who is seemingly on his way down and out of the Panthers farm system. Ryan Bednard is a fellow 7th round draft choice of the Panthers (#206 overall) from the 2015 NHL entry draft (a year after Fagerblom).
