...were selected in the first two rounds. Sounds pretty justifiable to me...the point of the draft is to get the right prospects before other teams do. Sure, there's plenty of Kipprusoffs, Ortios, Lacks etc out there too, just like there's a TJ Brodie for every Ekblad.

If you really want to play this game, I can list just as many in rounds 3 and beyond that became fantastic goaltenders, and I can name even more that were drafted in rounds 1-2 that were complete busts.
