You would be hard pressed to find a team that has drafted fewer goalies over that period of time in the NHL. All the more perplexing when one considers it is the position that has the longest development curve. BT could try to address this in the next two drafts and pick say 3 more goalies to increase his odds and maybe one would develop into a NHL starter by 2025. Just perplexing as to why he drafted so few goalies over that period of time, given the lack of organizational depth at that position.
The last thing the Flames should do is waste more (valuable) draft picks on goaltenders.
