Yeah. His contract next year was set up for him to be in the NHL, but there haven't been many signs that he is any more ready this year than last. If anything, his contract may mean that he is more likely to be on another team next year. Unfortunately for both Flames fans and Gillies, it's not like many other teams have the dearth of NHL-ready goaltending that the Flames do.
I wonder how much the lack of Kylington, Andersson, and Valimaki has affected Stockton's goaltending.
