You're just as likely (if not more likely) to find a franchise goaltender in later rounds as you are in the 1st round.
What you just said right there - that’s a reasonable take.
You have this habit of saying hyperbolic and frankly ridiculous things, and then when you try to explain them, you reveal what is a far more logical and reasonable take.
The above statement i absolutely agree with. But you said “it is always a bad idea to draft a goaltender in the first round.”
I doubt Tampa is upset they drafted Vasilevsky in the first round.
Doubt the devils are upset about Brodeur
Doubt the habs are upset with drafting price (though maybe they should be. I would be)
Really doubt Boston is upset that Toronto took Tuukka in the first round.
Jake Oettinger looks like a pretty good bet for dallas
Point being, it is not always a bad idea to take a goalie in the first round.
