Your and Beerfest's points are probably correct, but it still may be good to send him down for a couple games. But, I'm sure he'll get some action in the AHL, even with how well Leland Irving has been playing.
Goaltenders do seem to take longer to develop. I think Mikka was 26? when he joined the Flames, wasn't he?
