Interesting that McDonald is ranked about the same #12 on the CP list as the #15 on the Goalie list.
Would have CP put on the homer glasses and jumped on the McDonald bandwagon if we hadn't already said that we had 2 of our top 5 prospects were goalies.

Gillies is at least 2 years away.
Looking for another goalie was more of a reflection of their plans for Hiller and Ramo, not their long term expectations of Ortio and Gillies.
Also, the organization literally only had 3 goalies under contract before they signed Ramo.
Even without injuries, they need 4 just to staff the two teams. 5 would be preferred.
