Also, the top 3 pick argument never really applied to goalies. Hellebuyck(drafted 130th), Shesterkin(118th), Bobrovsky(undrafted), Ullmark(163rd), Saros(99th), Swayman(111th), Demko(36th), Markstrom(31st), Oettinger (26th), Vasilevskiy(19th) and Sorokin(78th) probably cover all the goalie awards and nominees over the last few seasons.

But, in their draft year, if you could have drafted some of those guys high, you would have. I guess that's the point. Sometimes you get lucky.
