Really hard to assign a proper value IMO as this guy could be an NHL starter or an expensive backup.

The Macdonald pick was pretty weak. They were determined to pick a goalie there because they needed one rather than picking off a list. I understand goalies get their own ranking but it seemed forced. Picking him over demko....I didn't get that. Macdonald will take a while to develop but has shown no progression which is a bad sign.
