This signing makes me feel infinitely better about the trade back with Wallstedt staring them in the face. But still miffed. Lol Wallstedt and Fanti would be an amazing prospect duo.

I personally have never been a fan of drafting a goalie high. Generally takes so long for them to develop if they develop at all. I keep hearing a ton of good things about Bourgault. He's still in junior but he sure is sounding good.

Again, this is a tired worn out cliche from sports reporters. It need not always be so, and certainly when people have had star goalies, they're in the NHL much sooner than that. Here's a few:
Grant FUhr - drafted 1981, rookie season 1981-82
Martin Brodeur - drafted 1990, rookie season 1991-92
Roberto Luongo - drafted 1997, rookie season 1999-2000
Carey Price - drafted 2005, rookie season 2007-08
Andrei Vasilevskiy - drafted 2012, rookie season 2014-15
Marc-Andre Fleury - drafted 2003, rookie season 2003-04 (albeit out of the NHL for year 2 before back full-time
If you draft a really good goalie early, he absolutely can be in your lineup relatively soon. There's an argument that the Oilers probably should have brought Dubnyk along faster, as opposed to his long, convoluted path to the NHL while the Oilers goofed around with their farm team.
I'm willing to bet Wallstedt is an NHL goalie inside of 3 years.

Slats did chuck Fuhr down to Moncton in his sophomore season so it wasn't as though he established himself as #1 right off the bat. I think we've seen two decades of garbage goalie coaching, management goalie shaming and organizational icompetence regarding that position. I think Hyman was right following the Calgary game, can't blame the goalies for 9-2 ES.
