We have our up and coming goalies
I have a feeling me may not be as elite (anymore?) as we thought.
All we need is a league average goalie that will get us through the next 2 years. A league average goalie that has steady play. Doesn't play out of his mind like Johnson and Elliot did this past season and then crash and burn like Elliot and Johnson did this past season.

The asset was a 4th round pick, that is not a real asset.
Ben Bishop's played over 60 games the previous 3 years before this one, he does not have a history of injuries.
Up and coming goalies is a good point, I think we have an open camp in-between the pipes, bring in Leland Irving, Joni Ortio, and Matt Keetley to battle it out and chat with the up and coming goalies about being an up and coming Calgary Flames goalie.
Getting an average goalie for a painfully average team would be par for the course though.
