In fact at a glance it looks like more starters are actually traded for than drafted by their respective teams. Not saying teams should never take goalies high in the draft, just that it is a significant risk and the odds of that goalie becoming your starter are not very high at all

Fair enough. I should have looked at that more closely. I think it's fair to say that 1/3 of NHL teams have starting goaltenders chosen in the first round.
