So I think I know what I want the Flames to do finally, now that I've come to terms with my dreams of Bishop being bludgeoned to death.
1. Sign one of Elliott, Mason or Bernier to a 1 year deal if possible, at most 2 years.
2. Trade for Grubauer and sign to a 2 year deal.
I'm guessing the two combined would account for $5-6 million MAX against the cap.
Get a young guy with upside to platoon with a more veteran guy. Really wanted a proven starter to take the reigns here, but unless an unexpected guy becomes available (can you tell I'm not an MAF fan? haha) that isn't going to happen.
I wouldn't be comfortable with any of Elliott, Mason or Bernier being the full time starter next season.
I also wouldn't be comfortable with Grubauer being the full time starter next season.
Maybe both together can get the job done with hopefully Grubauer eventually just taking the net and turning into a full fledged NHL starter over the next 2 seasons.
