All goalies or top goalie selections?
I'm just asking because you said you wouldn't want volatile Bob, who went undrafted, instead of the top 2 defensive prospects in Hickey and Alzner, neither of which are even in the NHL anymore. I just think it's noteworthy you would have been happy with an Alzner pick and furious with a goalie pick in that instance.
Of course I want a home run top 5 defender pick, but if that's not available... I want the great goalie. Lots and lots of these top skaters do not turn out as good as MAF, so I don't have a "no goalie" rule.
I never said I would take Hickey/Alzner over Bobrovsky. Saying I wouldn’t take a goalie top 5 does not mean I condone bad drafting of non-goalie picks.
I think consistent goaltending is an oxymoron. Lundqvist and Luongo are like the only consistent goalies I can think of in recent memory. Everyone else is a rollercoaster ride. I’m not riding those roller coasters with you Bench. Not when the cost of admission is a top 5 pick.
