The Flames want an insurance policy on a 36 year old Mike Smith, that makes sense. But if you're the Panthers and are looking to depend on 39 year old Roberto Luongo as your starter, and you have no prospects ready, would you give up Reimer at this point? Exactly.
The Flames have Rittich, Gillies, and Parsons all in the system capable of NHL play. It may not be ideal at the moment, but they are set up for a LOT more success than most teams with an aging goalie. I think you have to give kids a prolonged chance before declaring that you need to trade for a veteran starter. At some point this team is going to need a young goalie to go with it's young core.

Really?
I dont see that out of any of them at this time....of course we have 3 weeks to see if that changes but at this point Tre needs to be looking elsewhere as well.
