The draft status of the goalie doesn't matter. You threw out five names of goalies that got good returns and of those five just two were first round picks... I'd rather be the guy getting a good return on a 3rd round or 7th round or undrafted goaltender and still have my first round pick then the guy who just got a good return on his 1st round pick.
I just think it's easier to find quality goaltenders outside the first round then it is to find quality skaters outside of same... so why not draft your goalies later and skaters earlier. Strikes me as better odds of hitting paydirt that way.
