Ordinarily I'd be fully against drafting a goalie in the first round... but if Knight is around at 26 and the Flames aren't trading the pick then I wouldn't object to the Flames taking him. No way would I trade up to select him (I'm hesitant enough taking a Goalie in the 1st round period... paying extra to do it is a non-starter).
