Who will be the steal of this draft?

Vladimir Proskurin is my 3rd ranked goalie but was unlisted by NHLCS and only began to appear on public lists after we ranked him top 75 at EP.

@bak_dylan Thanks! I’m very excited to see him in Victoria, up and coming young team over there looking to make playoffs and in need of a goalie so it’s a big opportunity

Juuso Ainasto goes to the @MapleLeafs with the 85th overall pick 🤩 A fan-favourite of our goalie scouts, Ainasto was ranked 74th overall on our final 2026 NHL Draft rankings 🔥

Roberto Henriquez 170th to @NHLBruins is the steal of the draft. I GENUINELY believe this guy has elite potential. He is an outrageous skater, extremely mobile/flexible, very smart and hyper efficient. His development has been unprecedented.

[Crease Analysis @creaseanalysis]

I love Gleb Peshkov 178th to @AnaheimDucks. Extremely raw prospect. Needs to rebuild pretty much every “goalie” aspect from scratch but his athleticism is arguably the best of the class he just doesn’t control it yet. He has legit upside but is a big project.

[Crease Analysis @creaseanalysis]

Vladimir Proskurin 123rd to @StLouisBlues is a PHENOMENAL pick. His talent is off the charts. Incredible athleticism, skating and lightning quick processing speed. Will need to adjust his approach to the game to succeed in the NHL but he has all the tools to do so.

VLADIMIR PROSKURIN OFF THE BOARD TO ST. LOUIS

The @StLouisBlues select goaltender Vladimir Proskurin, another favourite of our goalie scouts 🤩 Proskurin was the 66th-ranked prospect on our final 2026 NHL Draft rankings 🔥

[Crease Analysis @creaseanalysis]

FINALLY a good pick. @PredsNHL takes Borichev. Very high upside with incredible skating and extreme control over his athleticism. His positioning and reads dipped over the year but if we can get first half of season Borichev to build off of then he has a decent chance of hitting.

[Crease Analysis @creaseanalysis]

Juuso Ainasto 85th to @MapleLeafs is a fantastic pick. Really high upside on the size and physical tools combo. Has shown incredible progression in the cognitive and technical aspects especially as someone who mostly played U18 this year. Tbh not even a project. Great foundation.

[Crease Analysis @creaseanalysis]

Tobias Trejbal is the first goalie off the board at 42nd overall to #CGY. A great add both in terms of BPA (including skaters) and that Calgary has a thin goalie pool right now with only Arseni Sergeev in reserve.

[Max Lee @LeeGoaltending]

I first ranked Proskurin at #4 back in November. Upon joining EP in January he had risen to #3, much to the bewilderment of the staff. Proskurin is 6-1, plays for a program that has only ever had 1 draft pick, and had not a peep of attention anywhere.

[Max Lee @LeeGoaltending]

Proskurin is a genuine 2nd round talent in my mind with high-end athleticism, great technique under pressure, and strong play reading vision. It’s a question whether or not he’ll get picked, but the talent is real and I think he absolutely should.

[Max Lee @LeeGoaltending]

Here’s a preview of my discussion on the showdown for the #1 spot between Loko Yaroslavl’s Dmitri Borichev and Youngstown Phantom’s Tobias Trejbal.

[Max Lee @LeeGoaltending]

As the 1st round is well underway, in anticipation of the first goaltender going off the board, I’ve released my rankings for the top goalies of the #2026NHLDraft!

Looking for a guide on the top goalies of the class? Look no further.

Hey all! This account was formerly TPEHockey that I managed back in high school 6+ years ago.

Today, I'm a goalie scout for Elite Prospects! Goalies are criminally under discussed in the prospect world and I hope to use this page to shine a light on the best position in sports.

Russians vs Canadian Goaltending and What it Means for Evaluating the Position

My newest post on Substack is live where we dive into the divides in the goaltending position and ask the question: What does “athleticism” really mean?

@hullonhockey Thanks!!! I’m not truly back. I’ll post about goalies here and there but most of my work will be on my Substack, covering the goalie class as the year progresses

[Max Lee @LeeGoaltending]

Hi All! If you remember me, I ran this account years ago to cover the NHL Draft.

Recently I’ve been digging deep into goalies and I’m proud to release my in-depth preliminary goalie rankings for the #2026NHLDraft!
