Thanks, Bingo.
I am wondering with how slowly goalies appear to develop if things look differently by eliminating the last three drafts? I think Mike DiPieteo is the only goalie selected since 20q6 to have played NHL games, so it seems like goalies selected more recently who are still developing could skew the results.
Based on what I see here, it looks like the Flames have the right approach to how they are spending picks on goalies at the draft, but that their goalies have performed very poorly after having been drafted.

Atlanta was better at drafting and development. They brought in Dan Bouchard, Reggie Lemelin, Pat Riggin in a relatively short timeline.
The brutal goaltending problem is a Calgary Flames problem.

I feel a little solace, in that Philadelphia is really bad at drafting AND trading AND ufa selection. Kiprusoff really saved Calgary for a lot of years, and it's too bad the team in front of him was so erratic.
I actually feel a little bad in this upcoming draft when a team has to make a decision on Askarov. He is going to go high, but what a risk/reward.
I think Chicago will have no choice but to draft him if he hits #9. He could be the next Price, or the next...
Gutsy move would be Ottawa trading #3 for #6 and #17 (NJ), and then taking the goalie. They have no one looking good in the pipeline.
I'm almost as excited for the draft this year as I am for the completion of the season. There are so many good storylines.

For sure.
But I included the last three drafts because I wanted to see what teams are doing with picks, and it seemed pointless to ignore the most recent data when looking at team trends.
A team like Philly has 6 goalies that I deemed developing ... Calgary has the two in Parsons and Wolf. The numbers can certainly change if a goalie hits that is a developing goalie now.
What's interesting is the trend away from drafting goalies high despite the need to do so if you want the odds to find a starter.
Only 14 goalies drafted in the top two rounds in the last 5 drafts, that's less than half the teams doing so.

As mentioned last week, I think the trend is playing into the success rate. Teams see what you have illustrated here: goalies are a fickle crap-shoot, but the very small handful that do succeed appear more commonly to be high picks. I think teams by-and-large have become extremely reticent to use 1sts and high-2nds when selecting goalies because of the chances and time-frame of success relative to selecting other positions. It has become a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy: far fewer goalies drafted in the first two rounds boosts the success ratio overall.
