If Appleyard is on board, Im for it.
Him and Clara were really the two goalies who I personally would have looked at closest if I were GM...
though I would not have spent a 2nd on Clara... thought he might fall to 4th! Zavragin I imagined would go in 3rd or so, but tbh would not have picked at the time even though I liked his game as I think better fwd and d were there.
That being said I think with a 3rd rounder Zavragin is a solid-good value pick.
Buuut in an ideal world I would not have drafted a goalie until the 4th. But there was a crazy run on them and not many of the best ones were there after Zavragin. Tbh the clear top 7 goalies in a good draft for goalies... Zavragin was the last one left. (I think Bjarnason and Zavragin are both top 4-5 goalies in this draft)
And the only 1st time eligible goalies drafted later who I think have a "solid" chance of being NHLers one day are Volokhin and Khazheyev. (some of the overagers have for sure back-up potential but yeh.)
Fell weirdly for goalies. Usually I would be a "unless there is a guy who is clearly a potential starter like Hart" dont draft a goalie until the 4th.
But there was a crazy run and 7 went by pick 90... and 26 were drafted overall! Post-lockout only 2018 has had more goalies picked.
