Very happy with what he's provided to date, he's clearly our best goalie so far and a big upgrade on last year. However, maybe it's just the stigma, but I'd need to see a lot more before the Flames committed to him in a big way that would force our hand to have him as our #1, I guess I'm not sold yet and would want another option next year for him to compete with (like this year).

There's the rub. If you sign him to 1B money (say $3 million AAV), does that preclude you from getting a true #1?
