I continue to find the whole Flames goalie search bizarre. We had average/mediocre goaltending last year, and now we are talking about adding other teams' average/mediocre goalies and throwing assets away for the privilege. I can see Lehner or Jones somewhat as they are still young and could progress. What are we trying to accomplish here? Get a goalie with some upside or get better at the position to be in the playoff hunt next season? If we just want a better goalie then trade for Craig Anderson - he is injury prone, but he can actually be a difference maker, unlike all the rest of these guys (BTW I am not advocating trading for Anderson, just saying...). And Ramo makes me laugh. Who the hell does he think he is? He is a mediocre, stylistically flawed goalie that doesn't fit the current mold (large, positionally sound). Nobody will pay except maybe a team that needs to reach the cap floor and wants to tank for Watson...
