Goalie. 20 years old. 2. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 109. Callum Booth

Callum Booth was drafted with the second pick of the fourth round in 2015.  Last season Booth earned his ELC by playing in 47 games split between Quebec and Saint John in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.  He was outstanding (1.67 GAA and .923 sv%) in 18 playoff games as St. John won the QMJHL title.  His post-season performance was noticeable even among a number of excellent playoff performances by prospects.

With two excellent starts (sandwiched around a dud) in the Traverse City Prospect tournament, it looked like Booth might have moved past Ned as the top goalie prospect in Carolina’s pipeline.  While that isn’t the case, Booth has also had a solid start with the Everblades.  In his first two games he allowed two goals on 55 shots.  Overall, his line is 3 wins, 1 loss, .914 sv%, and 2.48 GAA.
