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.

What I don't like about MAF is that he's been around winning teams and has consistently failed to get them anywhere. I mean a team that has Crosby and Malkin on it, and he wins one cup? Pretty hard to believe that is possible. What the Flames need right now is stability in goal and with MAF we'd be getting a proven veteran that has put up good statistical numbers over the course of a full season, but has been inconsistent in his performance. He's hot one month, and is unbeatable. The next month he's shakey as hell and makes you wonder if he can stop a beach ball. The Flames don't need a Vezina winner to continue their development,
