The Flames shouldn't even consider a goalie with the first round pick. The Flames already have many decent goaltending prospects in the system. Along with that facts that goalies mature slowly and are extremely difficult to project, it's a no-brainer the Flames should avoid goalies.
I also have the more controversial stance that centers should be favored greatly in first round selections. It's nearly impossible these days to trade for a good two-way center, let alone a star center. You can get your hands on quality wingers, defensemen and goalies much easier.
