Big goalie, in his prime, really only one bad season, and his contract length would likely take the team right into the years where Gillies/McDonald will be ready to take over.
If they get him, I believe they will trade Hiller and then let Ortio continue to develop as the back up.

I'd definitely be in favour of this. I don't see 5M being too much for Dubnyk. I'd even go higher to keep the term lower. He's probably looking for 5M per year for 5 years. Would he take 7.5M per for 2 years? The Flames cap crunch most likely comes after 2, so we can re-evaluate then when the deal expires. For Dubnyk, he gets a lot of money up front and 3 more years to earn more. He could earn a lot more overall that way.
