With Nate MacKinnon and Seth Jones leading a very deep and talented prospect crop, the 2013 NHL Entry Draft should be very exciting this year when it comes to available skaters. There has been a lot less hype about the goaltending in this draft, but like every year there seems to be a few diamonds in the rough. For those looking for the next Marc-Andre Fleury to emerge as an 18-year-old, I don't believe this is the draft for you, but here is a look at my top five netminding prospects, all of whome have a good chance to wear an NHL jersey someday.

1) Zach Fucale, Halifax (QMJHL)
Fucale has been a work horse for the Halifax Mooseheads, a team nationally ranked as one of the best in the CHL all season. In 44 games player he has an impressive record (35-5-2) with a goals-against average of 2.43 and save percentage of .901.
