Prospect Analysis
It’s always hard to tell with goaltenders but Alex Nedeljkovic should be the 1st or 2nd goaltender selected in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Alex Nedeljkovic is 6′, 190 lbs and might be considered small by today’s standards but he more than makes up for it with his outstanding athleticism. Right now he is projecting as a late 1st round or early 2nd round pick. (26th – 36th overall).
