How much is McBackup getting now? Is it 1.3 million per year? That would’ve been a decent move (assuming it was available) for a number 2.

McElhinney is already 36-years-old. He is only 14-months younger than Mike Smith, and older than all but six goalies in the NHL. Besides, there have been suggestions that McElhinney really soured on Calgary when he was moved, and will never come back. I think in the end it was never really an option for the Flames.
