I think it's also important to point out none of us are saying he's a sure fire starter or even quality NHL backup. There's just a pretty obvious developmental plan for goalies in the NHL, and Dallas in particular has a pretty predictable template.

That's why the idea of trading him in a couple years to try and recoup the value of his pick seems so strange. There isn't any legitimate way to know what you have in just a couple years. That's why the fact he's 6 years from being an UFA is important.
