Patriks Plumins is a big, cerebral Latvian goaltender the Toronto Maple Leafs selected 114th overall, the kind of low-profile European netminder the club drafts almost every year. At 6-foot-4 he already has the frame modern teams want, but his calling card is his mind. He is arguably the most mentally advanced goalie in the class, a reads-and-tracking blocking style with the anticipation to be in position early rather than scrambling, drawing stylistic comparisons to Jesper Wallstedt at the same age. He posted a .927 save percentage with three shutouts in 16 games for Zemgale in Latvia’s pro league, then stole the show at the 2026 Under-18 World Championship, where he was named Best Goaltender after a 43-save upset of the United States carried Latvia to its first-ever semifinal. The caution is real: the Latvian league is weakly scouted and low-danger, so the sample is thin, and he is a long-term project. He moves to the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens for 2026-27, a chance to prove himself on smaller ice. For fantasy he is a watch-only stash in deep goalie leagues, and how he handles North American shot volume in Chicoutimi is the tell before any dynasty consideration.
