Hi Justin, Last year your influence had me keep Moddig and Pogge and I was able to add Rynnas to my farm team. This past draft I also added Darcy Kuemper. The goalies on my main roster are Thomas, Price and Lehtonen.

My question is now I must make a decision on my farm team and cut 4 players to get to my limit. I am heavily leaning to releasing both Pogge and Modig. At the very least, I need to drop Pogge as he just turned 25 making him ineligible for my farm team. Is dropping them both a reasonable move given I'd still have the other 5? I know Thomas will be retiring shortly (1-3 years). Will either Rynnas or Kuemper be ready to step in when he does?

I influenced you to keep Pogge????? He's like the worst prospect in the world haha.

Drop Pogge and Modig for sure. I can't say whether or not Rynnas will be ready for the NHL because that depends on what happens with Gustavsson this season. I think skill-wise he'll be ready, but not so much opportunity.

Definitely shed Pogge and Modig, neither one have opportunity and only Modig has the potential to evolve into an NHL goalie. But Pittsburgh is very deep, so I don't see it happening right now.

Marc Cheverie traded to the Coyotes. This is HUGE HUGE HUGE for him. Just like Salak, he has escaped the shadows of Jacob Markstrom.

All of a sudden, Cheverie is in the mix with Pogge and McElhinney for an AHL gig. He will have to get himself in the AHL fast, because Visentin and Domingue are coming up quick.

Let's see what Chevy can do in camp. But he can't spend the whole season in the ECHL...he needs AHL exposure.

Top-30 Prospects are updated for December. Top-10 stays firm, although a few goalies need to pick up the pace if they want to stay in their spot heading into 2012.

Jhonas Enroth has graduated 5th overall. He was in the release of The Graduates Ranking that was sent to members last week.

Anders Nilsson joins the Top-30 for the first time (up 9 spots).

I need help in the worst way!! If you look at my sig, I have Markstrom, Rask, Bernier and Lindback but I would like to add a couple of other prospects. Here is the kicker, I need goalies who have a legitimate shot at stealing the starting gig as early as next year! Via trade, natural progression, I dont care! So the question here is, of the 4 goalies I already have who are keepers that could concievably have established starting jobs by this time (or earlier) next year. Are there other options out there? Guys like Desjardin, Lehner and Harding come to mind. Any thoughts and evaluation would be much appreciated!
