Steve, great analysis on your blog. As the guy who made the head scratching Johan Hedberg pick, I thought I'd explain. It wasn't a pick I was excited to make, and the only reason I made it was because I had Brodeur, against my better judgment. I didn't want Marty, but as goalies came off the board he seemed to be my best option for my second tender.

When it came time to pick my third goalie, there were a bunch of mediocre choices on the board. I had a couple of them ranked above Hedberg, most notably Gustavsson, but as I was feeling uneasy about Marty, I preferred the security of getting his partner over the other options that were out there.

Overall, my goaltending didn't go according to plan at all - though I think a lot of guys can say that. I really wanted one of Lundqvist, Quick, Rinne or Rask with the 11th pick. Once they were all taken, I had another 6 goalies lumped close together, so I waited till round 2 to get one of them. Price was actually one of the lowest ranked guys in that cluster for me, but he was the only one left when it got to me. Crazy run!
