If the number is 4x3 or even then sure, lets go and get this guy.
But, what if the guy is is 5x5 or 4.5x4 or 4x5...what do you do? You have to ask yourself, is Andersen the goalie you want when the flames are contending? You cant just look 1 or 2 years forward. And I think in this scenario the flames are better off on passing. In this scenario, a Ramo-Vaisilevskiy combination would be better because its (1) less term and thus gives the Flames the option to relook at UFA goalies next summer if the tandem doesn't work and (2) provides upside in that Vaisilevskiy could be a very good number 1 goalie.
