Has Everyone Forgotten About New Jersey's AHL Affiliate?

So the big stink this time around Draft wise is who is New Jersey going to pick for their first round. Should they get a quick, flexible forward for DeBoer to change around to be a catalyst for whichever line he ends up on? Should the get a big, powerful defenseman to protect whatever goaltender ends up in the pipes next year? Should they go the other route, and snag a smaller, Brian Rafalski-type defensman to creep around the rink and make Lidstrom-esque style stoppages without having a huge presence on the ice? Or, as for some reason everyone on facebook thinks, should they draft a goaltender?

Now, I don't want to be a GM here, but I think it's pretty self explanatory as to why New Jersey should draft anything but a goaltender. Bottom line is, there are two things to keep in mind:

1) Jersey has to draft someone eventually, and it honestly doesn't matter if they're first round or not (see Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk).

2) Marty may not retire, Moose probably has some left in him if he resigns, AND there are two very able bodied Goaltending affiliates for Jersey.

 First and foremost, there is the AHL goalie Keith Kinkaid. He's 6'3" and 180 lbs, a big body that can move extremely quickly across the crease. He's 22, so not a wet-behind-the-ears 18 year old, but has some professional experience. And, considering Brodeur will more than likely stick around (maybe not as the goalie coach) but Kinkaid will definitely get the teachings of the greatest goaltender in NHL history. He has kind of a wild, Tim Thomas style of goaltending, so he's not a boring double dropper, but a pad stacker. He's been the MVP of two leagues and a Robertson Cup champion, as well as a Ken Dryden top ECAC goaltender. Plus his nickname is Kinky. That just the best.

Then there is Scott Wedgewood, currently playing for the CHL, drafted 3rd overall by New Jersey. He's 6'1" and 190 lbs, smaller and thicker than Kinkaid, and makes slower and more powerful saves, but very precisely. According to Hockey's future, he's a Journeyman goaltender at 7.5 out of 10. 

"Players not quite good enough to play on the top line or pairing on a regular basis, but still possessing enough talent to contribute offensively, defend with some authority, or competently play the goaltender's position for long stretches."

 So, bottom line, New Jersey does not need another draft pick wasted on a goaltender that will be stuck in the AHL or lower to wait for Martin Brodeur to retire. Once he leaves, they'll have to throw someone in the open spot anyway, and the process of building goaltending will begin all over again.

And seriously, his nickname is Kinky.
