What I like about MAF is that he's been around winning teams (just the opposite with Reimer). What the Flames need right now is stability in goal and with MAF we'd be getting a proven veteran that has won and has had good numbers recently over the course of a full season (again, unlike Reimer who I don't think has played over 40 games). The Flames don't need a Vezina winner to continue their development, they need a good, stable goalie (with a history of winning being an added intangible) that can give the team confidence so the young guys can continue on an upward trajectory. A big part of what undermined last season was the uncertainty in net.
