Campbell and Knight put up almost identical numbers in their draft years.
Knight may turn out, I just think it is way too risky to be taking a goalie in the 1st round let alone to move up to draft a goalie.
Fleury is the only goalie drafted in the 1st round to lead his team to a Cup in the last 10 years.

Other goalies drafted in the first round in that time are Andrei Vasilevsky and Carey Price. While I agree that it is risky drafting goalies in the first round, it is silly to just not do so because there have been picks in the past that have not worked out. If Knight is as good as he is being touted, then he should definitely be picked in the top half of Round 1.
