Pick Analysis. 20 years old. 3. Scouting Report. Goalie. Jeremy Helvig. player. 109

Jeremy Hevlig, like Booth, is 20 years old, though he was taken a year later.  Both are big like so many current NHL goalies.  At 6’4″, 207 lbs, Helvig is 1/2 inch taller and 15 pounds heavier than Booth.

Helvig is playing another year in junior hockey and is making the most of it.  He has recently proven the adage about a short memory being a goalie’s best attribute.  After his one poor start this season (giving up 4 goals on 13 shots), he has put up elite numbers in his last five starts: 1.40 GAA and .949 sv%.
