All this talk about Khudobin is really showing g what an absolute mess this goaltending situation is.

Add another goalie who can't cut it with another team? Picking him up is simply a throwing mud at the wall strategy.

That is not how you build a winner. Simply waiting to see what sticks after you throw that much crap at it.

The Flames need a long term plan. Grabbing waiver goalies is not the solution.
You can look at some of the decent goalies over the past 10 years, and there seem to be quite a few that couldn't cut it with one team only to settle in and perform well with another.

Khudobin reminds me of Kipper back in his early days, in that when he is on his game, he shows really good potential, but when he is off, he is barely adequate. The Flames and Marcoux were able to get him to be more consistent and it worked out. I wouldn't mind taking a similar gamble with Khudobin.
