I'm here... will make my pick in moments.

Going with ROMAN TUREK.

When Roman Turek was traded to the Flames, it marked the first time since Mike Vernon that the Flames had someone who wasn't on the ass end of their career, and had the current stats that showed they were better than Trevor Kidd in net.

His SO streak to start his career with the Flames was nothing short of legendary, but was quickly forgoten about after the contract signing, which seemed to bring Roman back to earth.

I wouldn't have considered taking Roman based on his play post contract, had he not restructured it to be the backup for the franchise, helping the Flames along the way to their first playoff birth in 7 years, and the amazing run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Buy restructuring his contract, he managed to save the Flames around 3-4 million dollars.

Currently he is playing in the Czech Extraliga for HC České Budějovice.
