The fact that Matt Murray went late in the third round of the draft reinforces my belief that drafting goalies early is a crap shoot, and poor use of a pick.
Goalies picked early rarely pan out (if any team should know this, it is the Flames, eg. Muzzatti, Kidd, Irving). Goalies picked late can seemingly come out of nowhere (if any team should know this, it is also the Flames, eg. Vernon, Kiprusoff).
