What Treliving has done with the goaltending situation last year and this year is take measured approaches with limited financial risk. Essentially he is buying time until one if the in-house developed goalie prospects is ready.
Can you imagine if he did a MAF or Ben Bishop deal with big term and dollars and that didn't work out? Then he would be crucified. He is opting for a lower risk approach, understanding he may catch more flak in the short term, but hoping this is the right thing for the Flames in the medium to longer term.
