Saying you have to farm your own goalies is a ridiculous argument when you don't have one at the moment (or any time soon).
Also, as has been said, just become something hasn't been the case for 9 years, doesn't mean it is never the case.

Did it ever occur to you that A Players have really high allegiances to the teams that drafted them? REALLY HIGH! Its why all Cup Champs have over 11 players from their own systems at least. B Goalies are so in the spotlight in every rink and dressing room in the league that perhaps those teams coaching and management staffs may know something we don't when they decide to cut loose a MAF, Bishop or whomever?
I don't care how far they go in a playoff. The Cup is the only grail and that weird factoid about Cup Winning goalies has to be far more than a co-incidence. 3 in in a row is a co-incidence. 13 of 14 ( and I was informed that actually after Thomas was drafted his 1st NHL team was Boston. He never played for any one else prior to 2011.)
Twist and turn all you want pay Talbot 3-4 to stick around and keep working on young goalies.
