I was curious, so I did the same analysis on a team that entered the league the same time as the Oilers (Hartford/Carolina) to see if they fared any better:

Cam Ward 2002 701
JS Giguere 1995 596
Frederik Andersen 2010 404

Justin Peters 2004 83
Alex Nedeljokovic 2014 39
Darren Jensen 1980 30
Rob Zepp 2001 10
Mike Lenarduzzi 1990 4

Seems fairly similar to me. I don't think this is so much a poor reflection on the Oilers as the difficulty of drafting goalies in general.
Unless Hartford/Carolina are just as bad as drafting goalies as the Oilers and other teams would look better. Maybe I'll take a look someday.

I don't know - Skinner's appearance last night was the 2400th by a goalie the Oilers drafted. Eyeballing that Whalers/Hurricanes list, it looks like they're over 3000 - so that's pretty significant. That's a full 7.5 seasons more out of goalies they drafted. More guys who've gone a lot longer too.
I will say, it's more complicated than that simple analysis because if you have Fuhr and Moog, you're probably not prioritizing goalies as much in the draft, so spending later picks on them. Our first round goalie picks are 2/2 for becoming starters. Also, if you have a Martin Brodeur in your net, you're less likely to give goalies opportunities, which may stagnate some guys that otherwise had a chance to be NHLers. It's a funny position because there's so few places for them to play and to be successful, you can't really have much time where you're not taking a lot of games in the crease. A couple years as a back-up in the AHL can kill your progression.
