I agree you build from the goal out. However, I think it's the one position I would build from trades over drafting. While I'd draft a lot of goalie prospects (but none in the high first round), I think looking for prospects of other teams who are goalie heavy is a bit better. You hardly ever can tell what a goalie is going to be in their 2nd year of junior, or even in later junior years. Do you get a DiPietro? Or a Price. Or in the Flames case, a Muzzatti?
Vernon was the only Flames goalie draft pick that ever panned out. And I thought we had something in Krahn/Irving/Kidd
