Second, I don't think it's a reach. How many goalies do you start? If two or more, then Vas is fine going at #10. If only one, then I would definitely wait longer for a goalie.

I have the 10th overall pick... is grabbing Vasilevskiy too early here? He's going at the end of the 1st in most of my mock drafts, and 1/3rd of our scoring is goalie categories.

How many do you start at each position?
Re: When to draft goalie?
I wouldn't grab him this early. I would be happy with him or Bobrovsky. So if you can get Bob in the 2nd or 3rd I am not reaching for Vaz in the first. After that if both are gone then I wait awhile before drafting a goalie because there are plenty bunched together IMO after those two.

I say it's fine, but Vas and only Vas. If he goes before you pick, don't reach for a goalie there.

I am not sure when too early is but I know rounds 13 and 14 are too late. Thank you again Auto-Draft!
Re: When to draft goalie?
It's certainly a point of major debate and in a 14 team league there is going to be a shortage of starting goalies.
That being said in head-to-head I prefer to draft premium skaters early and take my chances on middle of the road goalies because goalies fluctuate much more season to season and even week to week. I personally would prefer a top end skater at 10, if Vas fell to you in the 2nd round then I'd take him. Otherwise I'd be eyeing a goalies in the 4th-6th round range, depending on when goalies start to really fall off the board.

Re: When to draft goalie?
TBH, waiting to the late 2nd Round or 3rd round and getting Holtby would be the way I would go. This way you get 2 great players possibly a great D and F and than grab a great Goalie in Holtby in the 3rd Round.
