GASabresIUFAN Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Another 6'0" goalie. I love this pick. I had him as a late 3rd rd pick. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Looks like his numbers improved from 21-22 to 22-23. Me likey. Edited June 29, 2023 by LabattBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) WHL standout with Seattle. 25-8-0 with a 2.15 and a .918. Represented Canada in the Hlinka Gretzky last season 4-0 with a .50 gaa and a .976 save %. This is a very athletic goalie. Sound familiar?

dudacek Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Almost perfect for Team Canada in the most recent Hlinka/Gretzky Cup. 2 goals against in 4 games, .976 SV% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he measured slightly smaller than expected at the combine. I’m seeing him listed as 6’1” and 6’2” different places. Measured 6’0.5” at the combine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll also probably represent Canada at higher level Int tournaments. Levi played for Canada in his D+1 season at the U20s and went 6-1-0 with a .75 and a .964. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 I liked Milic or Suchanek but this guy has potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Suchanek may go undrafted. Sounds like a perfect UFA signing post draft. Milic went in the 5th rd (151) to WPG. Might even be a good idea to use our 7th rd pick on him. Edited June 29, 2023 by GASabresIUFAN 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Great draft pick. I loved Hrabal, but this guy this late is a nice sneaky gem. Just keep adding to the pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 If Ratzlaff were already 6'2" he'd have gone in that 2nd round run of six goalies selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and if Benson was 5'11" he would have been drafted just after Will Smith. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Finally a goalie. Not my first choice(s) for goalie but goalie every year in the later rounds is a big part of my philosophy so I like this one. Gaolies are weird, no way to know what he will possibly become.
