Which Vegas Golden Knights pick (other than Trevor Connelly) has the highest ceiling?
There's an argument to be made that Lucas Van Vliet has the highest ceiling given his immense hockey IQ. Reading defenders easily is a gift among hockey players and helps out their respective team. For Swick, his size and ability to utilize it properly makes him a dynamic player. If he leans more into that frame, he can become a threat offensively and defensively. He's shown he can score goals as a big body at an amateur level and could translate that skill to the professional level.
Pavel Moysevich is a big body who already has NHL-level experience. The Belarusian netminder has an efficient style that makes goaltending look effortless. While his KHL numbers are from a small sample size, they're still quite promising. So who has the highest ceiling of the three non-Trevor Connelly picks?
It's Moysevich for his experience and incredible hockey sense. It's not easy being a young goaltender with the poise and efficiency to handle NHL-ready talent. That's what the Belarusian netminder has, which will help him become a force in the NHL. But don't sleep on Swick or Van Vliet, either. These prospects can evolve into special talents in their own right.
