At #15 no. If he somehow drops to our pick in the 2nd then I'd definitely go for it. Primeau and McNiven isn't bad goaltending prospect depth.What about Spencer Knight? I don't think Lindgren is the long term answer to price...price is 32 this year. We have restocked our D and FWD's the past few drafts. I think it's time to get more depth in that dept. besides Primeau.

Goalie development to too hard to predict. Your goalie prospects are pretty good. Keep taking shots in the later rounds, no need to waste high picks imoWhat about Spencer Knight?

Early to mid 2nd is where I think some of the top hole prospects should go (Hart, Demko...)I thought we might have learned a lesson by now about never selecting a goalie in the first round. Quality goalie prospects can be found anywhere, no need to reach for one with an early pick.
What lesson should we have learned? The last goalie I remember drafting in the first round was Price...not a bad pick. Along with Price...Vaslilevsky, Rask, Fleury, Dubnyk, Schneider, Varlamov, Luongo were all firsts. If he is rated high on your board then he has to be in consideration.I thought we might have learned a lesson by now about never selecting a goalie in the first round.

I’d rather wait until next year and draft Askarov. I don’t know how if he’ll end up being a better goalie then Knight but he’d be my choice.What about Spencer Knight?

Is Knight a generational goalie talent?
He's not 15 special, but he's late 1st special.Only really special goalies should be drafted in the 1st. Price was very special. I dont think Knight is special.

How many goals/points do you see Kaliyev doing next season in the OHL? And what about the following year assuming he would stay in the OHL?
Is Knight a generational goalie talent?
And now imagine the same team with elite goaltendingGoalie should not be picked in first round in my opinion. With a good team a little above average goalie is enough. And someone can find such a goalie outside the first round.
I'm sure I'll get roasted but I'd still go with Pod. I'd be ecstatic either way though.5 D go top 14... Podkolzin and Newhook are on the board still... who do you take?
Newhook without an ounce of hesitation, the guy is just much better at every single thing.5 D go top 14... Podkolzin and Newhook are on the board still... who do you take?
For me it's pretty tough. I think the Russian factor would have me leaning Newhook, but removing that from the equation I think I'd go with Pod as well, he just has more power to his game. It's funny a bit since these are likely the two forwards who could drop, yet if I was picking 6th in this draft, they'd still be the two guys I'd be choosing between. Boldy would be considered as well, but I just think these two have a bit more upside to be dynamic offensive players. Really, really hope we get one at 15.I'm sure I'll get roasted but I'd still go with Pod. I'd be ecstatic either way though.
