i really want something proven this year when it comes to goaltending.... but i think that's an impossible feat.

I suppose bishop would be ok given that he has the most pedigree but likely the worst from a cap/contract perspective.

Fleury also has a ton of experience, and still looks to have game left. The acquisition cost shouldn't be unreasonable, and his contract is decent.

All the rest are in the "prove it" phase as far as being a starter is concerned in my opinion, which could pay off nicely for a team looking for improved goaltending, but the flames can ill afford another year with rocky goaltending.

I am glad i am not GM. I find it real frigin easy to bash management for poor decisions when they don't pan out, but having to make the call now with the options on the table, is very tough.
