Fucale has regressed each year since he was drafted though he was playing rather well last year before the Habs raided the IceCaps roster to cover injuries. This is by no means a death sentence to his career but the odds of him ever reaching his potential are slim.

With the ECHL more aligned with their NHL affiliates than ever before, a demotion isn’t as dire as it once was. Scott Darling, Garret Sparks, and Mike Condon have all played stints in the ECHL.

Lindgren is actually quite good, Fucale hasn’t been the top goalie prospect since Condon leapfrogged him last year. Condon did great until his confidence was shot by being put into a starting role far too early.
Lindgren so far has performed very well, not sure where this reporting is coming from that Fucale is the top prospect. He hasn’t been for well over a year.

Nobody said he was the top prospect. Rather, he was the first goalie picked in his draft year. Though to be fair the 2013 NHL Draft has not produced any goalies of note other than Juuse Saros and Kristers Gudlevskis (and even those are a stretch).

I had no clue what the Habs saw in him when I saw him play at the WJ’s and laughed at people who thought he would be ready for the NHL within a year because his numbers looked gaudy; his rebound control was terrible, his positioning was mediocre, and he’d often lose his composure and overreact during scrambles. Not at all surprised he hasn’t amounted to much.
