P.S. Thanks for mentioning the Calgary/New Jersey trade in 1990. Can't bring that up too many times  |
I guess my point was really why even try? I'd be curious to see what would happen if an NHL team just started a "no goalies" drafting policy and instead concentrated their efforts on the pro side to try and get goalies in the 22-28 range who may have worn out their welcome from other organizations.
