Nobody should ever lose a moment's sleep over taking Mason McDonald ahead of Thatcher Demko. Neither is going to the Hall.

I'm with you. Also not convinced the book is written on McDonald... he was solid enough last year and might just be a victim of the numbers game with Parsons, Zagidulin, Gillies, and Schneider. Yes, he has fewer AHL games than Demko has NHL games - but goalies' development is notoriously nonlinear. Just look at least year - Jack Campbell and Jordan Binnington took the loong way there
