Fantasy Summary

Croteau is a raw but athletic goaltender. Questionable upside due to lack of success on low-danger shots.


Observations

June 2025 – Croteau’s 2024-2025 was a welcome change from the prior year, for fantasy managers, Habs’ fans and likely the young man himself. He got into 18 games and posted a line of 2.10 GAA and .903 save percentage with a 13-4-0 record. As a sophomore, this is a solid step forward in his development. He remains without an ELC at present, and sits below several tenders on the depth chart at present, so he is by no means a lock for higher levels yet, but he certainly improved his stock in his second year. Alex Wyatt
September 2024 – Emmett Croteau had an extremely rough NCAA season, playing only six games for Clarkson University, putting up a disappointing .835 save percentage. He entered the transfer portal and will give the NCAA another go with Dartmouth in 2024-25. Incredibly raw when he was drafted, he has not shown much improvement yet. Goaltenders are unpredictable, but with internal competition featuring names like Jacob Fowler, Jakub Dobes, and Yevgeni Volokhin, the odds are stacked against Croteau. Aaron Itovitch
August 2022 – Emmett Croteau is raw, even for a goalie prospect. He’s big, at 6-4, and he did well in six playoff games in the USHL this year (three wins, three losses, .913 SV%), but he has a tendency of letting in low-danger shots that really should not go in. Despite this, his .899 regular season SV% was fifth in the league amongst goalies to have started at least 20 games – which 18 goalies did – none of the four to have put up better numbers than Croteau were first-time draft eligibles, though Tyler Muszelik and Christian Manz put up better numbers in 16 and 18 starts respectively, while Croteau had 35, and Jacob Fowler, a D-1 put up a by far league-best .927 in 18 starts. Like most goaltenders, Croteau is a project pick who will have a near handful of years to develop before the Canadiens need to sign him. He is off to Clarkson University in the NCAA this year, where he will likely stay for the next four seasons. Sebastian High
