The way I see it, this should be the last year with average at best goaltending. I fully expect one of the prospects to take the next step (which we should see part way through the season and he either gets called up or is a lock for the following season) OR I expect management to go all in on a legit star #1 goalie (Price). Of course it all depends on how things go this year. If Smith becomes the answer, we go with him and postpone things but IMO this can't go on much longer. With rumours of Price having interest in being near home and the other western teams goalie situations, I think the Flames are the perfect fit. I'd even be willing to trade for him now and give up most anything for him. However things play out, it looks like we have our 2 goalies to at least start the year and all we can do is hope for the best.
