Cosentino says he kind of sees it difficult for a goalie to go in the top 10, just because it hasn’t happened since Price. But also thinks as soon as one goes, the other will be right behind.
Pinelli is really growing on me after doing some research. He strikes me as someone who could have gone a lot higher if he had a full season in the OHL coming into the draft.
What's all this talk about picking goalies in the first round? How often does a goalie pan out after being picked in the first round. Last time we did this was when we picked Dubnyk.
I also recalled this board fuming when we did not pick Blackwood a few years back in the first round. On the other hand Vasilevsky has been one of the best goalies picked in the past decade in the first round (19th overall). It is a hit and miss. Look how long it took until Ilya Samsonov actually played a legit NHL game after being picked in the first round (2015).
If we pick a goalie, that goalie will never get a chance to be the starting goalie during the McDavid era.
