Yeah, the only quick fix for the Flames goaltending issues is to just get a decent one. Doesn't HAVE to be an all star, doesn't HAVE to be 22 and on the upswing.
Thats why I'm fine if names ike Halak or Fleury become Flames. Not the most optimal solutions in the world but solutions none the less. At this stage I feel like the old adage "beggars can't be choosers" applies to the Flames. And fans should anticipate this as such.
Treliving may have to overpay in the end to get a suitable goalie but I don't think bargain hunting is going help. Reimer may be the best bargain but then again he may force a stupid contract as well, which s a bigger gamble than taking on the Fleurys and Halaks of the world.
I just don't know what the best option is other than anything but Hiller/Ramo.
And I cannot wrap my head around this "home plate" goalie speak I've been hearing about the last couple of weeks. To me it just sounds like a goalie who can stop pucks but for the hipster number crunchers.
