I'm setting the bar really high for the goaltending position this year, Elliot clearly doesn't make the cut. I really hope the Flames go out and get a good goalie before the expansion draft and protect him but I also hope they go out and get another good goalie after too. It would be nice if the Flames could be in the position of some of these teams who have more than one good goalie. Having a guy like MAF would be good but I'd still want a guy like Grubauer as the backup if possible. If they can get Murray somehow, then I think they go out and get a take a gamble on a really young guy or someone with a really high ceiling.

Having to hold your breath every time there's a shot on the Flames net really sucks. Even when Elliot was on his hot streak, you were never sure if the next game was the one where he would stink it up and start slumping again. Even if the Flames get a goalie who isn't an all star but is constantly average or good, it would be better.
