Also looks like they found the Mark Jankowski of goaltenders:

One of our spies in Europe recently alerted us to a late-season darkhorse who has emerged out of Belgium.

Belgium, you ask? Yes, Belgium. And yes, it’s definitely the first time Red Line has ever had a Belgian in our rankings.

Goaltender Wouter Peeters has yet to turn 18 (not till July 31st), but is already in his third year with the Red Bull Academy in Salzburg. He plays for their so-called farm team, which is essentially an under-21 team made up of players from all over the world. They don’t play in any league (!) and are essentially a travelling team.

The first half of the season they went to tournaments and exhibition games in the United States, Switzerland and Finland. Only recently they have been playing some games at home (Salzburg) or in the Czech Republic. A posse of scouts have gone to check out the 6-foot-4, 205-pounder and in a telling sign, the crowd of talent hunters has been increasing — not decreasing — as the season has progressed.

Peeters’ Red Bull squad played a tournament last weekend (Lillehammer juniors, plus the Slovak & German U-19s) and there were about 15 NHL scouts in the stands. Not only local guys, but Finnish and Swedish scouts also flew in. Even guys who had written him off before as being too raw and too much of a project have come back to give Peeters another gander. Size, of course, is his main selling point and although he’s a bit up and down, he’s athletic and has good upside.
