Unfortunately we're at a point it seems that no matter who the Flames end up with in net next season, that goalie is coming complete with lots of question marks.
Even if they are on par with each other, at least Fleury is only signed for 2 more seasons. If we are hoping one these post-apex goalies is the answer, I would prefer we mitigate the risk by signing the one with a smaller contract.

I hate the notion that we are looking for the lesser of two evils though. I would much prefer going after Raanta and Grubauer, and then challenging one to come out on top, even if the acquisition cost is higher. I would settle for one of them and let Rittich and Gillies fight it out.
