Dipietro's career was side-tracked by hip issues.
The reason why there are so many goalie busts is that there are only 60 NHL jobs. But that alone doesn't mean that one should rank a long-shot late round pick like Tuolola over a higher round, higher pedigree prospect like McDonald.
If there hadn't been positive dev camp reviews would we be seeing Tulola even ranked top 20?
