Attached is an article by Adam Kimelman of the National Hockey League detailing the top ten goaltenders (both North American and international) for the upcoming draft. I noted in particular the #8 ranking given to Saskatoon’s Evan Gardner, who certainly will garner much attention in Las Vegas. Gardner was the 7th-ranked North American goaltender in central scouting’s final rankings, yet he finds himself ranked higher than fellow WHL goaltenders Dawson Cowan and Lukas Matecha in spite of their higher rankings on central scouting’s final list. Also attached is an article discussing Gardner’s exceptional season, which I published in a prior post.
