Whats with the 20's?

This past week both Portland and Everett picked up 20 year old goalies.  I say why?

For PDX, Brendan Burke was a good pick for their general game play style, he is a goalie who could endure the 64 games on the ice without blink of the eye.  Like Mac Carruth before him Brendan a sixteen year old proved to Mike Johnston that he could step out of the shadow of the goalie who took the most shots in the WHL last season.  He proved that he could face high Shots On Goal games with out getting to frazzled which lead this fan to believe he could manage the pipes this season.  As for Everett Austin Lotz was the next inline, but a bit too eager while standing the blue paint. Yet the eagerness is being calmed as we speak turning Lotz into a solid back door defender.

But why bring in guys who will be shipping off at the end of the sesason?  I think for a managed exposure bringing the 2013-2014 season into a new style of play for each team.
