Calgary needs a goalie in the worst way, but what is encouraging is the number of options they will have. It's almost the perfect time to need a goalie being in that it will be a buyers market with little to no competition to secure one.
There will be some solid options on free agents if they wish to go that route, or there is going to be a host of teams with two goalies that may be willing to make a move either for cap reasons (e.g. Tampa) or protection purposes (e.g. Anaheim).
Whether Calgary uses some draft some pics or roster moves to discover a goalie, or if they just view the open market, I don't feel I'll be disappointed. Elliott, Allen, Reimer, Bishop, Andersen, Fleury, Murray, etc. There's a bevy of options with various scenarios that will ultimately unfold to make some of these players available. I have my preferences as we all do, however, it's going to take some ineptitude to truly swing and miss on this.
