Yeah I see the following being candidates to take one of the goalies

Detroit: Now low probability with the acquisition of Ned. Previously I saw them as a potential fit.

San Jose: They need everything though.

LA: They are STACKED but lack a future #1 in net

Ottawa: They have Sogaard and just lost their other prospect in the expansion draft. Seems pretty thin.

Then after the Flames you have Chicago and Edmonton in the mix too.

Sometimes when one goalie goes, you see the other go quick too. And certainly there is a clear top 2 in this draft and then a pretty big drop to Gaudreau. So if one goes before the Flames and Chicago REALLY wants the other - you drop down a slot and get a little sweetener.
