Why? So, the Flames can end up being mediocre and have a mediocre build? Vladar's fine for the one year.
For those who are throwing in the name Jake Allen for trading with NJD - Flames don't need a Jake Allen coming back taking up cap space or performing well on a contract year. Don't need a spectacular goalie when the team needs the proper draft picks and prospects. For the sake of comparison, both contracts end in July 2025. Vladar has a better cap for the Flames at $2.2M for the upcoming season as opposed to $3.85M for Jake Allen. Makes no sense.
Plus, if Vladar has this injury for 2 years now and he was showing pretty good results up until just the last 2 blowouts after the trade deadline - kind of shows you he's good enough as a goalie. He's positionally sound.
