Exactly. Scouting Goalies is Voodoo, and I often have them a bit lower than others. I tend to favor skaters as they seem to translate that potential much more consistently.
I mean for every Carey Price there is a Jack Campbell, and there are so many stories of late round picks like Henrik Lundqvist becoming elite.
