If it's 6x7 or 6x6, I hate it.

I just can't commit to goaltenders. Markstrom has been very good the last 2 years, but that's really all he has in his career.

Goalies are voodoo. Very rarely do you find somebody young and consistent like Vasilevsky. Even Price, who many consider to be the best in the league, varies wildly from season to season.

If I was a GM, this is not a bet I'd be willing to make. Markstrom could be great next season, he could be great for all six or seven years, but he could also just fall back to earth. And the samples we have available say either is likely to happen.

I'd save my money here and spend elsewhere.
