Statistically you're more likely to hit with a goalie picked from 33-70 than a forward or defenseman. (Hit being 50 games played for a G vs 100 for a forward)
Getting someone that won a championship is a good idea. Winning goalies like Gillies and now Parsons at least have the experience of going all the way. Whether they translate that to the NHL or not, remains to be seen.

I agree if your going to select a Goalie choose a winner. Besides over the years being here you have a strong evaluation on Goalies period I know you speak from a good place.
Just was excited at the reality that Raddysh was gift wrapped for the Flames. TB took him 3,4 picks later.
