I remember quietly hoping for Gillies over Rittich, because it seemed like the better draft record to snag your future goaltender in the third round rather than out of nowhere.
Goalies are weird though.

I can't help but think Parsons is getting the same leeway over a guy like Zagidulin.

Or recency bias as someone else mentioned. I personally don't see how a guy like Nikolaev has proven more than Pospisil, Zavgorodniy or Roman. Being a recent 3rd rounder > than being a less recent 3-7 pick I guess.
