Hey guys,
Good call on Mike Lee.
I remember the first time that I saw this kid when he played for Bloomiongton-Jefferson (MN) HS. It's rare that I get really excited about current Minnesota HS goalies because very few have such enormous pro potential at such a young age, especially the non-seniors. But when I saw Mike in his junior year at Bloomington, I was absolutely floored by how good he was! It's nice to see that he's been able to build on that in the USHL and continue to get strong draft interest.
IMO, I expect him to be a relatively high pick in the draft where goalies are concerned. This is definitely a must-see kid.
