I personally would’ve claimed Pickard, but it’s not a big deal the Flames chose to pass. Neither Pickard nor McElhinney is a near guaranteed improvement over Rittich. This way all the goalies can continue to develop in optimal settings. I’m hoping the Flames find a creative way to get a goalie this year via trade. Over the past number of seasons, good goalies have been traded for surprisingly little.
