Cooley is likely getting a primary shot as the backup next year based on his play this year, so the Flames are going to be in the position soon regardless.
I'd also prefer to reward him for his play in the AHL this year and see him get 5-10 NHL games before the season is over to see how he looks as an NHL backup before giving him the reigns next year.
