Name a goalie, since Kipper, that the Flames have developed successfully.

Do established goalies really "progress"? I don't think so unless they are of the few truly generational or elite netminders. Markstrom was what he is when he signed his deal here and that isn't going to change at his age. Most established goalies tend to fluctuate from their averages for a handful of years before inevitably falling off a cliff with age.
Vladar has certainly progressed since coming here, but he is pre-apex. Wolf is definitely progressing as well.
