Shrug... I'd rather have but not need then need but not have. Doubly so considering that there maybe other moves we may make to shorten that number further

Are we even sure that we could call up Brossiot on an emergency basis? We have the contract spots. We have the cap space. What is the emergency? We don't want to give up a contract spot doesn't constitute an emergency. Brossiot is not under contract with the Flames. Could we really sign him to an ELC call him up on emergency basis and send him back thus keeping our contract spot? You don't think anyone would think there is something wrong with that? Don't think that is an absolute slap in the face to an AHL vet like Taylor? Yes, experienced minor league players we want you come to Abby (it is a ####ty place to live) and help our young players learn the pro game and we will not reward you for your hard work. We will insult you!
If you can sign the kid and get him to Calgarys next game, there is no logical reason why Calgary couldnt sign an AHL vet like a Danny Taylor and get him to Calgary. If Brossiot was already signed to an ELC, then maybe this could count as an emergency call up.
It is more concerning to not have a back up goalie then it is to have 3 open contract spots vs 2. I can't believe there would be even be a debate about that.
