Are people really sugesting we only dress 1 professional goaltender for the next 3 to 4 games, because we might actually have a chance at signing 3 guys like this?

And are other really saying that getting called up to the NHL will hinder a 26 year old AHL goaltenders developement, because of a lack of minutes?

I'm not sure which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Its good low-risk signing, that was well earned by Taylor, and I see it as a vote of confidence for Irving.

If they were really worried about contract spots they would have done an advanced buy-out on babchuck or they would not have signed Begin.

I also feel it is vary important that the Flames take the oportunity to test Irving and Taylor, beacuse in a perfect world Ramo and Bressoit will be North American Pro's next year.
