Tre says we won't take a goalie in the 1st round whereas Button and Conroy say this... interesting.
Five things you need to know from Vancouver4. Could Calgary pick a goalie in the first round?
U.S. National Development Team product Spencer Knight is the hot goaltending commodity right now and sounds like he’s on Calgary’s radar. Whether or not he’s available at 26 is another story. If he is, though, you can expect a very interesting discussion at the Flames’ draft table.
“We’ve got a list, we’ve got it in order,” said director of amateur scouting Tod Button. “I think we’ve finished one to 62 and the only thing that would come into play would be the goaltender. If there’s a goaltender at 26 who we think is available that we think is worth picking. We’ve talked it out and we think there is one. So then it’s just a philosophical decision on whether you take a goalie at that spot or not.”
In the end, that philosophical conversation is spearheaded by Treliving. If Knight is still on the board when it’s Calgary’s turn, it’ll be the GM making the final call.
“We have a separate list for goalies, but we have them slotted in where we would take them,” Button said. “Without taking the scouts off the hook, it would be Tree’s decision to take the goalie here or not take the goalie here.”
Said the exact same thing Pronman says were interested in him too.
I've found some models aimed at projecting this draft classes careers based on their junior play.

There's lots of prospects I like but at the moment I think Tracey is my guy.

Good to know where to point the fingers if the Flames take Knight.
For a prospect pool as barren as ours, there's better things to do than wasting a first on a goalie
Spencer Knight meets everything you asked for. If he is available at 26 i have no issues with taking him..Plz no Beecher at that position.
Its exactly at this part of the draft round I want to go for homerun picks. Players that could've been in the top 15 but had flaws. I want something that has some elite part to it at the very least.
Safe is death.
