Bring a guy over and he has a rookie AHL season like that, I really don't see how he wasn't already getting re-signed. I mean, if not, what was the point in bringing him over in the first place?
The only ways I don't see him back in the org next year are:
1. He decides he wants to go back to Europe
2. Flames trade his rights to another NHL team

There's no doubt that he's been better than Gillies but the politics dictate that teams typically stick with the guys they have drafted and developed. He may only want a one way deal and I don't know if the Flames will offer him that although for all we know Treliving and Co. have been extremely impressed and are willing to let him back up the new starting goaltender. Lots of goaltending question marks in this organization right now.
