Mightyreasoner is right, Goalies are wild cards, so there isn't much to read from minor league performance.
Nevertheless, Olivier Rodrigue does seem to be holding his own in Drummondville. Hope he gets a chance someday to become overripe in the Oiler system.

"The Oilers prospect went 2-0 with a goals-against-average of 1.00 and save percentage of .963, improving to 27-6-1-0 this season with the Drummondville Voltigeurs."

Awesome! At least we have the goaltending fixed! ... :)
But seriously, it is good to see he's coming around.. he was pretty rocky earlier..
|
Impressive. Yeah - last I heard on this guy was that he was having a real rough go. Maybe he'll be good to go on Koski's final year to then be subsequently signed for 3 years at 5.75 (the equivalent cap percentage hit)

I think Starett and Skinner are doing well in the minors as well, goalies are an enigma, not a bad strategy to get as many lotto tickets as you can.

I haven't watched them play, but the number don't look great:
Skinner:
ECHL, 30 games, .906 save percentage, 3.20 GAA
AHL, 4 games, .879 save percentage, 3.25 GAA
Starett:
ECHL, 1 game, .963 save percentage, 1.99 GAA
AHL, 19 games, .907 save percentage, 2.59 GAA
Wells:
ECHL, 13 games, .913 save percentage, 2.84 GAA
AHL, 9 games, .902 save percentage, 3.01 GAA
Hawkey:
NCAA, 23 games, .905 save percentage, 2.09 GAA
To be honest, Rodrigue might be the only one trending up.
The guy I'd like to see them take a run at as a free agent is Cale Morris in Notre Dame (19 games, .924, 2.37). It would likely mean not signing Starett and/or Hawkey though to open a position.
