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.
Just saying that it is hard to spot a pro goalie before he plays against some pro competition.

The scouts and GMs do know what they don't know . 16 goalies drafted in the 1st round since 2000 including the 2 this year


At this point in time if doing a 2109 re-draft you be comfortable with the Flames taking Wolf at 26 OA instead of Pelletier?

ie Wolf is just starting his development and Pelletier is a year away from being put on the bad 1st round pick watch list.

I pretty much expect that Pelletier will get at least a handful of NHL games this season.
