I get the feeling that Treliving is looking for the big bucks and missing out some smaller game that may be easier and cheaper to pick up. We'll probably see a bunch of third tier signings and be regaled with stories about how close we were to getting the big one that got away.

I guess setting your expectations low is one way to go. It is not like there has been an insane amount of movement or trades and the Flames have done nothing.
Why for Markstrom? The team has had a revolving door of goalies every 1-2 years since Kipper left and they are about done with that is my thoughts. If you can go from okay goaltending to a guy that was considered 4th best in the league last year then why not?
