To me, the real issue is that even if you draft a good goalie, you will never get the value for it that you invested with a 1st round pick. Either a goalie is stellar, and you keep him, or he's a backup and you get peanuts in return
Even look at the four who became actual good goalies.
Carey Price - disastrous contract at this point (predictably)
Andrei Vasilevskiy - I don't like the contract but it's debateable.
Semyon Varlamov - traded after 3 years when they found someone they thought might be better (and got a great return)
Tuuka Rask - has had a great career and also never got an egregious contract but...he also got traded for Andrew Raycroft a year after being drafted.
So really none of them have worked out that well for the team who took them other than maybe Vasilevskiy who is early in his career.
A lot of busts. A lot of backups. A couple of good ones who got paid a lot. And two who didn't even stick long with the team that drafted them.
And yet we know someone will take Askarov early.
