I am not yet sold on our goalie prospects, and would speculate management is not either.
BPA drafting aside, MacDonald was taken quite early for a team with total confidence in existing prospects. Then again perhaps he simply was BPA.
Regardless, I went Reinhart, and (assuming he carries the day) I'll vote Janko next.

The Flames hadn't taken a goalie since Gillies in 2012, it was logical they were going to take another this draft. Most, myself included, were surprised it happened in the 2nd round but knew it would happen. I wouldn't suggest taken another goalie is any indication they aren't "sold" on our current goalies either. It makes sense to draft a goalie every couple years, teams can't just label a guy as their future goalie and hope it works out. The good teams are the ones who overflow with them. San Jose, Nashville, LA in recent years as examples.
