How About [Player Name]

How about Adin Hill...currently tending goal in game 5 of the Knights/Stars series.

I think about that when I see the Knights play and I think goalies take forever to develop.

How about Kyle Chipchura?

How about the only other goalie I can think of who left PHX and went on to greater success elsewhere ... how about Darcy Kuemper?

Yeah, I kinda think you shouldn't ever draft them. Just sign free agents to fill out your AHL roster, there's always plenty. And scour the NHL waiver wire a la Connor Ingram.

How about Kyle Chipchura?

He autographed an Arizona Sundogs puck for me (he played a dozen games there during the 12-13 lockout) and very plainly described the experience as "better than not playing hockey at all."

Speaking of guys who make you think, "yeah, he had a nice career" but then you go "really? he was a first round pick?"

How about Rusty Klesla?

Our goalie coach was awesome… we always took goalies that were not good and made them have career years, then were able to trade away for valuable assets..

But many goalies can prove the rule wrong.
Oettinger (1st), Hellebuyck (5th), Vasilevskiy (1st), Shesterkin (4th), Quick (3rd).
I never analyzed the data, but I'm not sure you'll do much worse drafting goalies than skaters.
