There is nothing to lose because we are getting sub-.900 save percentage. At worst that's what Poulin will provide. At best he is an unknown commodity who may have upside

I agree that it would be interesting to see how he plays at the NHL level for the Flames. He'll probably beat Hiller in terms of save percentage, but Hiller is going to trend up (more or less) sooner or later.
The Flames would probably wait for Poulin to play more AHL games this season first, as he hasn't played much thus far.
Now that the Flames are in the playoff race, they might be less willing to experiment.
