I'd say Janko getting unchained was the best news since Jagr signed, but this is a very close second. I didn't mind Lack as a cheap backup option with possible upside if he could find his game again, but so glad that the Flames think their stable of goalies is finally ready to step it up. Rittich has earned his chance.
