This past draft, everyone in my area was focused on where Brandon Whitney would end up. Turns out he didn't get drafted as high as some expect, but I believe the Blackhawks had themselves a steal of a pick by getting this kid in the 7th round. I had a chance to chat with him a couple of times before the draft and he even joined in a class soccer game (played goalie of course).
Personally, I think he could be stopping NHL rubber in less than 5 years, but of course goalies are a hard position to scout and anything can happen. He has good size and ability, I hope he continues to grow and gets his chance at the next level in a couple years. I expect he will be in the QMJHL this coming season and then maybe a pro league in the next 2 years.
