and I guess add in Rittich. Jon Gillies they developed but didn't select.
Those are the players selected or acquired by the current regime. No point in hanging poor goalie development in Al Coates or Cliff Fletcher's time on the current management group.
If Wolf plays I'm guessing they're probably batting about average league wide for goaltenders turning out as there are no first round picks, and only two selected before the third round.

I think the full body of work is relevant because it seems like it doesn't matter who is running the ship they cant seem to home grow and keep a goalie outside of Vernon. I dont know who is to blame but it seems like an organizational issue when its been that many decades.
Could be a coincidence that every regime has had the same issue but it seems like a problem none the less. Its almost reached 1C status for this team if we're looking at it through the years. It hasn't been as big an issue as they have been able to use picks or sign UFAs but still that's cap and picks that could be used some where else if they could actually draft and develop or hang onto one.
