I guess if you are going to take a goalie it has to be in the earlier rounds, otherwise a dime a dozen. I just worry about Price -- if he keeps getting run he's going to be playing a lot fewer games -- though this management team looks to be one who will find a protector or two!

I don't know about them needing goalies, I say draft players like they did, with upside and talent, goalies are a dime a dozen and rare is it to find a 7th round goalie that turns into a Halak, even he took years to make it with the big club and then was gone almost as soon as he made it.
I'm liking being able to watch Bozon play for the Blazers, I remember him now being a real speedster. Tell you what I think this core group of prospects along with Price, Subban, Yemelin, Pacioretty gives us one of the if not the best young group in the entire league. It's going to be a very interesting camp with the two Gally's, Tinordi, Beaulieu and Morgan trying to break into the league. I expect Galchenyuk to make the team and Tinordi or Beaulieu to make a real push for the #6-7 spot.

I would tend to agree....very risky using high draft picks for goalies.....better to keep lots in your minor league harem and see who develops.

I agree although I think were thin there too, I think the Habs can find a goalie that develops late, too difficult to predict at 18 years old how good most goalies will be in 5+ years. Plus there are a lot of goalies that figure things out in their mid 20's and you can sign them as a free agent for free. Then you get a player like Luongo who is on the block and be had for probably not the farm. Goalies are a dime a dozen, I'm just glad we got imo the best young guy between the pipes.
