I agree in principle (that being conservative isn’t going to help) but there's a difference between being bold and mismanaging an asset. With respect to drafting goalies I think using a first would be mismanagement of an asset.
On the surface it looks like you're just as likely to find a starting goalie quality tender in the third or later round as you are to find same in the first or second... so why burn the first round pick?
