I don't think McDonald's development is going that poorly. Demko plays on a great college team so that helps his numbers quite a bit. I think the Flames had a very hard decision that draft deciding which goalie to take and the verdict is far from rendered.
Disagree that they were determined to pick a goalie there. I think goalies were the best player available at that range.
Let's revisit that one in about 5 years.
