I think there's more frustration from Flames fans than many other teams because we had one of the best to ever play in net for a decade. We were spoiled so badly that I don't think we have the perspective that goaltending is a flakey, almost incalculable position to draft for, and almost as hard to trade for.
A large percentage of the NHL is throwing picks every couple of years at goaltending because it's that tough of a position to fill. We've now spent two picks on goaltending since 2014. It's not that bad asset wise. Our bigger problem is that we've been spending picks on everything the last two years so two goaltending picks stands out.
