Toskala was the higher profile prospect at the time.
I do wonder how Toskala might have developed though, if he had the same opportunity that Kiprusoff had with the Flames. Perhaps being a back-up for longer was not the best thing for him either, just as it wasn't for Kiprusoff.
Honestly, I think very few people expected Kiprusoff to make Turek expendable like he did (Sutter included).
