Ramo improved while he was here, didn't he?
Rittich improved for a while he was here. I don't feel he regressed as much as he hit a wall.
I see your point that Flames have rarely, if ever, taken a goalie through years of continuous improvement without a step back. But does that often happen with goalies? Who are the goalies that left here and immediately got better?

For most of the goalies that have come through here, it has been the beginning of the end of their career.
Name a goalie, since Kipper, that the Flames have developed successfully.
