Not really related, but looking back the 2005 draft produced:

- Carey Price
- Tuukka Rask
- Jonathan Quick
- Ben Bishop

2007-2017 there’s been 3 goalies selected in the 1st or 2nd round that have panned our so far. Obviously 2017/2016 is still early but shows goalies take much longer to develop. Even if you get it right you’re waiting 4-5 years, sometimes more.

I honestly think with goalies, you have to draft about 5 of them into your system and just hope that one hits eventually.

I think goalies are such a crap shoot you draft them in the later rounds and you’d probably have the same success as drafting them earlier.

Doesn't matter, with Miller back there we really don't need a goalie.

we had a couple of our own misses in that time in Halverson and Lafleur

what kills me is the team is loaded in net with prospects already

still baffling to me

No doubt. Especially since there were some guys that were potential first rounders that were still on the board. I would have taken Wilde. And then I would have taken Thomas.

If you were watching the draft when the camera zoomed in on their draft table after the pick all their faces were like "what the frank did we just do"

Shocking.

I really hope we all have egg on our face in a few years with that pick. Somebody in the organization fell in love with him. There's no doubt about that.

I just don't get why the org. doesn't send Allaire out and say "this is my guy, its my pick", even if its complete bullpoop.

Lundqvist - 205
Halak - 271

Murray - 83
Ward - 25

if a goalie is so high or so beloved by the masses that do these things you can understand the pick, but it literally feels like the only ones that were was the NYR. It’s a very arrogant pick, like we’ll show you mfers!

They passed on some good players to pick him, really makes me wonder if the plan was to take him at 48 but once it was traded they didn’t think he’d be there in the 3rd round. Still a dumb pick. Very aggravating.

I was trying to come up with a Vin one but wasn’t gonna work. VDW I guess maybe

I like Komarov, slightly above average skilled pest we've needed

I agree with you, but if you look at the Atlantic, it's a bit of a different story. Four goalies drafted in first round and two in the Top 5: Luongo and Price, #4 and #5 overall respectively. Vasilevskiy at # 19 and Rask at #21 (or 22).

Agreed. Smart acquisition. He’s better then Glass, but regardless even if he sucks he has intangibles

Nah it was funny. I approve.

It's just so weird, like if Olaf was the consensus top goalie in the draft class I am sure all of us would be semi ok with it. But to pick someone that high who wasn't even top 10 for some people. Just strange

Never seen Komarov does this.

Just to be clear, I didn't like the pick either.


I hope he makes us look stupid, however.
