I disagree, I mean I wouldn't rage about it if it happened but it's a poor allocation of a draft resource that high. Particularily since I think the Flames actually have strong organizational depth at goalie what with Ramo, Broisset, Gillies, and Ortio excelling in their respective leagues. The Flames needs are many so it makes little sense to me for them to burn an asset on the one part of the team where I think the Flames are actually a little flush.
The conspiracy theorist part of my brain thinks that they might use the Pens pick to draft Fucale if he's still available because that will forever be the guy we got for Iginla and they might want, for the purposes of PR, to have the ability to say "we got the highest ranked X for Iginla"... and at 25-30 they can't say that with respect to d-men or forwards but they might for a goalie.
Personally, if the Flames are going to draft a goalie I think they ought to wait until the 4th or later round... I mean Tristan Jarry is projected to go around there and he's as good as anyone statistically speaking.
