Location: who can even keep track
Jonas Hiller, the incumbent Swiss goalie who struggled last year returning from vertigo.
Viktor Fasth, a 29 year old Swedish veteran who played the last two World Championships
Frederik Andersen, a 22 year old Danish rookie who led the Elitserien in SV% and played last 3 Worlds

Andersen is the real deal, IMO. One of the best goalie prospects there is, and possibly the closest to prime time. Big, athletic, progressing every year. I'd rate Markstrom ahead of him and beyond that... Vasilievskiy but he's quite young, Visentin... I guess Holtby still counts.

Fasth is older, though, and deserves a shot.

Word is Andersen will go back to Frolunda if he doesn't make the NHL out of camp. Interesting choice for Anaheim.

Of course, there may not be a camp to attend anyways. Whatever. Frolunda is down Magnus Hellberg as well, who signed with Nashville, so now they don't have a goalie at all. Strange world where Milan attracts a NHL goalie from last year and Frolunda has nothing.

I just read on Twitter that Fasth might be concussed. Fucking hell.

The NHL should be ashamed that ANY goalie is getting concussed. It shouldn't be happening. Ever.

Well you and I will actually agree on something here.
