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.

The point wasn't yes or no to moving Vladar/giving Cooley a shot. I'm with you on wanting to see Cooley get a shot at some point. It was purely that the third string needs to be considered. If you move Vladar and aren't planning to tank, you probably need to pick up another goalie for the third string.
