Goalies already have a huge bust factor even without missing an entire development year, but I guess most people are rating purely on potential and not factoring in the odds of a player making it. Which is fine I guess, but seems strange. I shouldn't be that surprised though, as for some reason the collective CP conscience seems to have a soft spot for goalies. Hope this turns out better than when we ranking Irving as the 2nd best prospect.

I agree that many goalies are a bust. But this is about prospects and their potential. Gilles is potentially a dominant #1 goalie. Even with that, it was difficult with Janko as a possible #3 center and dominant shut down defensive player (?) and Hickey becoming a #1-2 D... Gilles still seems to have the highest projection and was drafted for that...
