I don't care if it's "year 2". We're going for the playoffs, and more. Elite goaltending wins games. I want elite goaltending. We'll eventually need elite goaltending and an assertive offence, and now's as good a time as any. I agree that playing perpertual defense is typically a playing with fire, but I want the Flames to assert their offense responsibly, and I believe that they can do this even with quality goaltending as a fallback. And if they can't, they won't really get anywhere anyways, so it won't matter which one they're missing.
