But that's higher value than using some late round picks on goalies with potential late in the draft, and to be completely honest with you.. the only one I'd want in my net is Bobrovsky. The rest of them are pretty middling pseudo-number 1 goalies.
That's literally all you need. Having a luxury goaltender like Price is like having a gold toilet.
The risk/reward on a goalie prospect in the later rounds of the draft is actually a lot higher than gambling on guys like Samuel Houde and Jack Gorniak who at best at 3rd/4th liners and can be had for next to nothing off free agency every year.
Yeah, but we didn't need to make those picks as we just discussed. Fagemo fell through the draft and there was no need for it. I would agree that we should always be swinging for the fences.
I don't really see the logic of wanting to protect 3-7th round picks from being used on a goalie when, those goalies mentioned above are some, but that doesn't begin to quantify the amount of guys like Talbot and Lack who have been moved for 2nd round picks or more and are complete ass.
If you simply have nothing better than an Houde, then fine, but that's almost never the case.
