For those who will say this is a mistake I would again ask exactly how you think the Flames should address their goaltending? There has been constant (and valid) complaining over cycling through lower tier options and not getting a guy.
I would say Markstrom is the best available free agent goalie. Yes there is risk.
But if you believe that the Flames need to address the net- how else do you think this happens?
What's the bigger mistake. Signing Markstrom and taking on some back end risk, or again entering the season and hoping your tending works out?
