He seems to be a money goalie in that he did very well in the playoffs last year, and is doing that again. I attended all three OKs first-round games against Kootenay and he was lights out. I admit that I don't know Dreidger as well, but I think he's the better prospect. NHL teams are going bigger goalies and LB fits the bill, as does Dreidger who is not small although LB is slightly bigger, I think. Of the three of them, I like Jarry the best. You guys shouldn't expect to see Brossoit for several years, if he makes it at all. My money is on him never being an NHL regular, although I know that's not what the fans want to hear. Goalies are a crap shoot. We'll get a better comparison if the Kings play Calgary in the playoffs.
Edit: Bear in mind that Brossoit plays in front of a top-notch defense. That will make his numbers look better.

Dreidger was a 3rd rounder. I expect we'll see more consistency out of him next year as a 19 year old. He's far better than he was last year with his consistencey, but I expect next year to be even better.
