Yes, which made the Devils comfortable enough to trade us their 1st rounder and move down, even though they were also looking for a goalie.
I don't care what the rankings were, the Devils scouting staff was able to identify that Brodeur was the best in the class. That's exactly what I'm criticizing. The flames have almost never been able to do that with goalies.
