Such as? When you look at the goalies who switched teams this summer, none of them really jump off the page as a missed opportunity for the Flames.
I know some people like Pickard, but he wasn't available during the summer and it wouldn't have made sense to claim or trade for him early in the season.
The only option that would have made sense would have been to go with Gillies or Rittich as the backup from the beginning.
Acquiring a cheap veteran who put up decent numbers in Vancouver isn't the worst thing to do. As we're seeing now, they're not too proud to make a change.
