Hiller (78 GP) - above-average starter to historically bad in two years
Elliott (49 GP) - inconsistent starter for a year with no playoff success
Man, it's a really ugly list. At their Flames peak, I wouldn't want anyone after the top-3 as a starter today.

I don’t see how you have Ramo so high. Playoff success? Ramo has 2 playoff wins. Less than a whole bunch of guys including Riggin, Edwards, Kidd.
Maybe you’re looking at GAA but comparing across eras is extremely deceiving.
If you want to use solely winning a playoff series as a criteria then it’s Vernon, Kipper, Riggin/Lemelin and Ramo/Hiller. But when you’re looking at the history of the Flames you have to look deeper than playoff success.
