"Keller was very busy last season, playing for four different teams over the course of the year. In fact, he's been bouncing around to different teams during a season for years now. His numbers are not spectacular, but all the teams he played for were not great. The 11 games he played for WC and International were for France and, no offense to France, but they're not exactly a hockey powerhouse."
"It looks like Keller will be making the jump to North America and will probably settle in the ECHL. That should be very good for him. He'll get more consistency on, hopefully, a very good team. It's so hard to predict goalies, but we know the Caps are great at drafting goalies (though it's been scarce lately) and that the Caps are very high on him. That alone makes Keller worth keeping an eye on."
Rankings assess prospects under 25 using two factors: potential and proximity to the NHL, with emphasis on NHL readiness. Lynden Lakovic ranks lower than Vincent Iorio because Lakovic shows greater long-term upside while Iorio appears closer to NHL readiness. The list begins with players ranked 25–11. Antoine Keller, a 20-year-old goalie, played for four teams across multiple leagues, posting mixed stats and representing France internationally. Keller is expected to move to North America, likely the ECHL, for consistency. Another prospect, Persson, played a depth role in Finland's top league, finishing 22nd among U22 players and appearing once in the AHL with an assist.
