It will be hard to do but the Flames have to give Gillies the same chance the Jets gave Hellebuyck. These guys have been pretty much equal .. Gillies had his injury year to put him back a year but now is the time that they have to get him at least 20-30 games before making him #1.

Now the Jets have a goalie cap hit of 6.8M and the Flames will be at 4.25 plus Gillies qualified at plus Rittich (both qualified after 725k and 925K cap hits last season) so it will be pretty close.
