Pradel’s size and speed combination make him an intriguing goalie option. He maintains his positioning well, and is quick to react and move to new shot locations or on changes in the play. He has a good foundation when it comes to his stance and save selection, opting for easy hand saves and chest saves when the time comes. Pradel should work on his footwork and recovery stages of the game however. He would struggle to get a good bite on his blade into the ice far too often, resulting in his technical abilities fading while attempting to recover from a save location. Pradel also had a tendency to lean back when recovering from shots, which results in him being less prepared for a second-chance opportunity. Pradel remains an interesting prospect, and I could see a team betting on his size/speed combo in the middle-to-late rounds of the 2025 draft.
