Not worth giving up a pick that could be a key piece moving forward.
Looking at the NHL now, elite goalies are not that common, and in the east, 4 of the current 8 playoff teams don't have an elite tender (Carolina, Jersey, Toronto and Pittsburgh) and 6 of the 8 in the west don't either, (exceptions being Oettinger and Hellebuyck)
Unfortunately, a goalie is important in the NHL, but you can win without a legit top-10 goalie if you got the right pieces in place elsewhere.
