If the Flames acquire a goalie, it should be someone who is one the right side of 30. I don't care if he cost a lot more.

Hiller, Smith, and Elliott were all arguably fine during their first years on the Flames.
But all of them were simply too old to progress with the team.

As for Sigalet, he doesn't seem to be a good goaltending coach. But who knows. We have almost nothing to work of to prove that.
My main problem with Sigalet is that every goalie he has coached did not progressive much, if at all. The Flames desperately need to improve their goalie development. It's been a problem since the 80s.
