Haven't read all the thread yet, but a couple comments:
1) anyone who says we're stocked in net is wrong - we basically have 3 real prospects, Ramo, Ortio and Gillies (we'll see if there's anything there in Roy). We don't even have enough to fill our 4 roster spots, never mind having more in the pipeline. We should have at least 5 or 6. I am as big a fan of Gillies as anyone here, but the thing with goalies is never know - it's a numbers game.
2) was it early to pick him? Maybe. But obviously they felt it was an area of concern (agreed) and they wanted to get their guy
3) Demko was rated #1, but I have seen a lot of BC and personally I am not a fan - so glad they didn't take Demko. Great team in front of him and always thought he was weak when they needed him most
