John Ortio's final season was 104.
The Hamonic move was great for the Flames but I don't think that Treliving has done well with the goaltending.
Mike Smith is old and average, which is fine if you have another 1B goalie to help carry the load. I thought for sure the Flames would get another Johnson or someone similar.
With the acquisition of Lack, it appears that they may have downgraded their goaltending tandem.
Murphy was the number 8 in Carolina, and has been through waivers at least once.
I just don't see the positive for Calgary in this. I think they should have aimed higher for a backup.

At least we'll have cap space for goalies.
