If they're as close to locking up Wolf long term as some of the rumours suggest, Calgary won't be drafting goaltenders early for the next four or five years and will just stick with late-pick goalies every year or two.
Outside the Leland Irving pick 15 years ago, they've only twice picked goalies in the top rounds (2014 and 2016), when they were really struggling to find a steady presence in net (or if you include Gillies in round 3 in 2012, when Kipper was close to retirement).
They look to have their guy for the next decade so happily they no longer need to pick another goalie early for quite a while.
