    Just because it's the off-season in the NHL and AHL doesn't mean there's any shortage of debates. 

    When there are elite goalie prospects such as the Minnesota Wild's Jesper Wallstedt, the Calgary Flames' Dustin Wolf and the Nashville Predators' Yaroslav Askarov, there's no wonder debates continue about which young goalie has more potential at the NHL level and how soon it will be until they are mainstay NHL players.

    But which of them would be the best choice if someone started a franchise from scratch?

    Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams decided to play a game of 'Would You Rather' with these three goalies on the Aug. 25 episode of The Hockey News On The 'A' Podcast. They analyze the stats, their accomplishments, their hockey journey so far, style of play and more to determine who they'd rather want. (Spoiler alert: it was not unanimous.)
