I do wonder if there is some strategy to taking a goalie in the first round in a draft year that is relatively weak, and that has a lot of question marks due to COVID.
Maybe Wallstedt ends up being the Vasilevskiy of the 2021 draft.
And it's less risky using the 1st on a goalie this year, than say in a draft like 2015 where you have Barzals and Boesers still available into the middle of the first round.
