This move makes a lot of sense to me. With Kipper due to make $1.5M next season, I don't see him as a Calgary Flame come the trade deadline. That gives us 2 goalies (Irving, Macdonald) to work with after this season's trade deadline, and with the highly-touted Ramo finishing KHL it makes sense; even if we have 4 goalies on 4 contracts; one of them will go (sooner or later). My bet is Kipper will fetch the best value.
