Louhivaara is an interesting prospect in that he was more highly regarded before a serious car accident left him with some pretty tough injuries he apparently still has yet to fully recover from.
Fitzgerald and co. are clearly banking on a full recovery in time, as goalies take years and years to develop, anyway.
It's tough to argue with a dart throw at goalies, as they are the most difficult prospects to project accurately for the draft and a good one can change the course of an entire franchise. As late as the Devils took him, it should be considered a decent pick even though the Devils had already selected a goaltender in round two.
