That's where I was personally torn.
On the one hand, like you said, I want the Flames to develop goalie prospects first and foremost. I would love nothing more than for Ortio, Berra or Brossoit to become the future Flames starter.
On the other hand, they just let an elite AHL goalie go. A goalie who stole so many games for them over the past two years, it's crazy. A winning environment is very much key for development.
Now, that's not to say that Ortio, Berra or Brossoit can't win the Heat some games, but Taylor was guaranteed to be able to.
At this juncture in the Flames history though, I'd prefer the first option. The second option is fine for a team like, say, the Blackhawks or Penguins - not the Flames.
Good luck to Danny in Sweden.
