I agree. I think the club should have a reservoir of goalies and they do. The thing with goalies it seems, is that you have to let them play NHL games for a stretch to really see what you have. I doubt the sharks would have traded Kipper for so little if he had played a half season as a starter and shown his talent. If they let the best 2-3 prospects rotate in with McDonald they will need a year or more to get a feel for what they have in the system now.
I suppose if the scouts feel there is a steal in net laying around in the later rounds then what's one more kick at the can, but I'm feeling fairly certain they wont draft one in the first round.
