Your afraid of Bishop getting hurt but not at all concerned with acquiring goalies who haven't played more than 25 games in a season. The fact they haven't played more than 25 games means we can't tell how good or bad their durability is.
Fleury DOES NOT want to come to Calgary. If Calgary was on the list of teams he would have been a Flame at the draft last year. I'm certain Treliving made the same offer for Fleury as he did for Bishop. You'd think Fleury would be all over Calgary as his destination given that there are very few teams looking for a goalie like himself.

So, you're fine with Gillies taking the reins if Bishop gets injured? I am not, that is not responsible player development in my opinion.
Fleury didn't go anywhere at the draft last year, mainly because Rutherford didn't want to trade him because he didn't have to... he now has the luxury of two no. 1 goalies, a situation he likely wanted to have for as long as possible. However, with the expansion draft coming it is very likely Fleury gets traded, and I have not seen any indication that he won't come to Calgary - could be wrong - but I haven't heard anything.
