Goalies just aren't worth that.

Depends - you just have to be getting an elite goalie, a Price, Schneider, Holtby type.
Even then the Schneider trade is the closest comparable - but that was 9th overall and ended up being Horvat. However if it was the 6th overall (Monahan) then you'd probably still do it but it would be a lot closer. The cost would be fine if you are getting an elite goalie, but we should be able to get a good goalie for a lot cheaper.
The hesitation right now though is that it would be an over-payment on the current goalie market. Teams are going to be forced to move a goalie out of fear in the expansion draft and the Flames are going to be able to get a better deal than expected.
