Rising Price of Goalies a Good Thing for the Canucks

The first bombshell of 2015 Draft Day was dropped when the Ottawa Senators sent Robin Lehner and David Legwand to Buffalo in exchange for the 21st overall pick, and its significance is of importance, not just to the Sens and Sabres, but to the rest of the league too.
