the flames do have a lot of goalies in the system now, though i don't think that should be confused with "depth" or a "strength" of our prospect pool.
Gillies had a solid first year at college, and brossoit has done well on a good team, though the next year or so will be telling on whether he has what it takes to make the transition to playing against men.
That being said, burning first round picks, unless there is a high level of confidence in the prospect, i just rather see forwards/dmen being picked. goalies are just too hard to judge at the age they are drafted. So i have no issues in the flames drafting goalies every year, just as long as they aren't using 1st round picks to do so.
