Well as I said, Flames aren't churning out great goalies. No disagreement there
IMO that is more about swings and misses on the player acquisition front. Elliott, Johnson, Hiller, Lack, Smith et al were not examples of good or bad development IMO. Those are all difficult turds to polish.
Did they do a good job of developing Ramo, Berra, Ortio, Rittich, Gillies?
I can't think of one of these goalies where it would have been reasonable to expect years of continued progression.
How are they doing with Vladar?
