He's essentially a replacement level player. Sign him for less than $1M for a year or two and he can back-up. I think it's wishful thinking to hope he'll turn into something much better than this, and to pay him north of $1M is just bad cap management.

Career numbers in the NHL?
The guy is 24 years old and has played a grand total of 35 NHL games in his life.
I'm not saying he should be the Flames starter next year (unless he earns it and performs) but you are talking like he is what he is, when in reality he probably hasn't even come close to answering those questions yet.
He's just a baby as far as NHL goaltenders go.
