To help fans get to know one of the Montreal Canadiens' good prospects who is flying under the radar, Eyes On The Prize has just posted a video of goalie Frederik Dichow.

"I think he's surrounded by great people who are going to be able to get the best out of him, but it will be all or nothing in his case. He'll either become a great goalie in the NHL, or he'll just never play in the NHL. He has so much talent, but it's a matter of using it well." -Dylan Waugh

To give us an idea of Dichow's great potential, Waugh compared the young CH goalie to Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, no less.

"I think the comparison to Andrei Vasilevskiy is pretty good. I'm not saying that Dichow is the next Vasilevskiy since a lot of things have to happen for that to happen. But he has all the tools he needs to establish himself in the NHL. He's really going to have to work on his weaknesses or he's going to look very bad." - Dylan Waugh

He's not saying Dichow is the next Vasilevskiy, but in terms of goaltending style and potential (if all the stars align perfectly), the comparison may be a good one, he says.

Dichow played 28 games last season with IK Kristianstads and maintained a 2.27 goals-against average and .929 save percentage.
