Calgary needs to start graduating some homegrown talent. Plan to have Parsons in the show in two years.

In one year of Rittich and Georgiev.... choose one.

I'm tired of the Flames being so rudderless in net. If you bring in Kuemper, it solves the problem for exactly two years. Maybe.
Georgiev is nowhere near the level of Kuemper. Not even close.

Georgiev:
19/20: -0.004% save % above expected, .910 save %
18/19: -0.076% save % above exected, .914 save %

Kuemper:
19/20: 0.46% save % above expected, .928 save %
18/19: 0.257% save % above expected, .925 save %

Kuemper's numbers are truly elite.

Yeah if we're talking Gaudreau out and NJD's 7th coming in (+ more), and the 19th going out with Kuemper and Hall coming in? That's a huge win.
