2010 NHL Draft 11th Pick, Dallas Stars Select Jack Campbell, USNTDP Goaltender

Jack Campbell has become the first goaltender selected in the 2010 NHL Draft and his highlight reel from the 2010 IIHF Under 20 World Championships should be Exhibit A as to why:

Our Columbus Blue Jackets site, Jackets Cannon, has this about Campbell

As Matt pointed out in his last prospect profile, depth at the goalie position in the organization isn't exactly deep. With LaCosta probably leaving to play elsewhere, and Wesslau coming in to play with LaLande, Campbell could be another young up-and-coming super goalie. His speed and reflexes remind me a lot of our own Steve Mason, and lets face it, thats a good thing. When you hear about how well is puck handling is, one of the first goalies you think of is Marty Turco. If he's nearly as talented as that, he'll be a special player in the league someday.

If the comparison to Marty Turco is correct, Stars fans should be familiar with how Campbell will fare.
