Theory:

Goalie prospects look great until they get to face pro hockey players
So the whole scouting institution is wrong? They don't know what they're doing?

That's four highly thought of goaltenders that were taken in the first round, and Wolf who probably should have but wasn't because of his height.

Doesn't mean there won't be blips for all of them as any development isn't a straight line, and goaltending a whole other level above that.
