Not sure what your point is.....but if its that somehow Irving is getting the short end or something...i say nonsense...he has had a multitude of opportunities to impress not only the Flames, but every other team in the league.

Broissoit doesn't have the same skill level Irving did at the same age. He likely has the same potential Irving has. To be a backup goalie.
I'm not saying never draft a goalie. I'm saying all this talk about not drafting a goalie in the 1st round is ridiculous as it's a sure fired way to pass over elite goalies when they come available.
Yes there is more risk when it comes to drafting goalies but the reward can be worth it. I also think our organization has had a role in being an absolute killer to the growth of young goalies.
