Maybe Jake Allen is probably where I would put his peak. Just my opinion.
The goalie I would target is Phillipp Grubauer, he has just put up solid numbers at every level. I think a tandem of him and Johnson for next year would be pretty solid. Washington is at risk of losing him for nothing at the expansion draft, so if we could swoop in and get him for a pick or prospect, it would be a solid pick up.

I wouldn't say overrated and more that his development was sidetracked by injury and he's struggled to get back on track a bit. He looks like he's at least two more years away right now because he's getting outplayed by other goaltenders.
