I can see Cam Ward in a Flames Jersey, but to me it's such a razor thin upgrade over Hiller when looking square at the numbers.

The Canes have Khudobin locked in for another year and Hiller has at the very least proven he can be a solid 1a/b option. Seems like a decent fit for Carolina if Freidmans theory proves correct.

I have to say I am curious how Ward would fare with a fresh start on a new team. The reward for the Flames could be exponential. And the risk is minimal as we know he can at least carry the same level of play as Hiller and Ramo did this year. As he did so by backstopping a really bad Carolina team.

Honestly it is really interesting to me how many different paths the roster can take this year.
