In terms of goaltending, the Flames, if anything, have invested too many resources into. Goaltending development is such a crap shoot. The Flames would be a lot better off now if they had avoided using any 1st and 2nd round picks on goaltenders.
You can easily fault the team for not putting enough resources into skilled forwards, but in terms of goalies, the Flames consistently have one of the best pool of goalie prospects...none of them ever seem to work out.
And yes, for the record Kipper is the main problem this season. He's been downright awful. We'd have a winning record if we had an average goalie in net.
