I think goal tending was the Flames biggest problem but isn't really their biggest issue. This year it sucked but it should be an pretty easy fix, there are a few decent UFA's and there will likely be a few goalies made available through trade because of the expansion draft. It has to be fixed but it isn't that big of an issue because it's likely fixed with getting one player. The teams size and toughness seems to be a bigger issue IMO and I think the Flames need someone with size and grit in their top 6 but I think they need a solid stay at home defender for their top 4.
I like the high flying defense style but I just don't think the D corps has enough size that can move the other team around.
