At some point the team has to take a bit of a leap of faith. Last year the Flames trusted two veteran goalies and look what that got... A 4 game first round exit thanks, largely, to goaltending.

I brought this up in another thread but does it make sense to take a leap of faith in a year when the team has traded an unprotected 1st round pick?
The Flames need to ensure they make the playoffs next year
