I don't think there's any need to be rude and hostile about it, and third overall is too early for a goalie, but there's a lot to be said for having a guy who's better than the field at his position, when the position is the most important on the ice, and the pool keeps being diluted by expansion.
BUT that we don't know what the team will look like in three years with much certainty is one facet of the problem ... the fact that it took a guy like Andrei Vasilevsky five years post-draft to emerge as a top NHL starter (with no Cup yet) is another. And the goalie with the highest save percentage that season he did break through was ... Aaron Dell.
