All pretty predictable imo. All were top prospects, all were developed over time, and all are now top goalies. Lehner and markstrom have both been available in the recent past. The rest have stayed with their teams since drafted.
Perhaps we should be gunning for askarov

Well Vasilevski was the top goalie picked in 14, and the next was Subban (yuck).
Markstrom sure wasn’t obvious. A second rounder with two goalie picked ahead of him and who hadn’t shown much when traded by Florida and even in Bahia first couple years in Vancouver.
Price was a #5 pick 15 years ago and no goalie has gone anywhere near that high since.
Rask was not obvious enough for Toronto. LOL
Gibson was well regarded, though the second goalie picked.
Hart, well, we’ll see. Looks good so far.
Bottom line though, you can draft one high and hope. But look at Gibson’s draft year: he’s the only one to have made an impact until Binnington came along suddenly.
Are you telling me Calgary should have drafted those guys and didn’t?
