Ideally, they probably want someone with a few seasons pro experience to pair with Gillies who could perhaps mentor him and push him. They also need someone who can potentially be the #3 NHL goaltender behind Hiller and Ortio, if Gillies is not ready.
IMO I don't think the Flames will bring back Thiessen. Didn't do that great in Adirondack and didn't seem to trust him at all in the NHL.

Yeap. IMO they need another Joey MacDonald type guy. He pushed Ortio when in the AHL, and was also able to fill in in the NHL when needed.
Funnily enough, Joey Mac is a UFA on JUly 1st, but I doubt he comes back.
Guys like Leighton, Ellis, Bachman and Labarbera would fit the bill IMO.
Hopefully they don't go with another obscure project like Theissen though. What a disaster that was when Ortio got hurt.
