If we want to talk about the word "elite" I am arguing there is no "elite" goaltending prospect. Not even GIbson or Vasilevsky. Probably the only elite goaltening prospect in the last decade would be Carey Price as a prospect. Jumped to the NHL as a 20 year old and posted amazing percentages over half an NHL season worthof games. Anything less is not elite for a prospect.
If we're expanding the term to define "upper echelon" then yes I would include guys like McDonald because these are players Lyon would compete with for an opportunity at an NHL spot in the future.

So after all of this, you're now agreeing with me...and in fact, you're taking an even stronger stance than me that McDonald isn't even close to being an elite goaltender, nor is any current goaltending prospect??? Ha. I suppose I'll ignore the fact that in your previous post, you suggested I was a fool for not considering Danko elite. And that this all started because a magazine ranked McDonald #15, which you took to mean he's elite.
Your last post was definitely a highlight - asking me if I view Danko as elite then when I give my opinion, you critique me for providing my baseless opinion since there's no possible way I follow every goaltending prospect to have an informed opinion. Predictably, you follow that up with your own opinion that McDonald is in the upper echelon...because you've apparently seen all his peers play and you're able to separate them into tiers?? Or you just value your own opinion and discount anyone who disagrees with you?? Either way, I'm done dragging this out any further.
