The need for goaltending prospects has been a bit of a barren situation for the Ottawa Senators ever since they lost both Ben Bishop and Robin Lehner. With no one having yet found consistent success at the AHL level, the Sens recently traded for Filip Gustavsson, who was named the top goalie at the World Junior Championships.
Now would seem like a good season for Ottawa to jump on a top goalie prospect, although unfortunately for them, the 2018 goalie class appears to be a weak one. In fact, it would be completely reasonable to expect the first goalie of the draft to get taken in the third round, something that hasn’t happened since 1986.
