Needs to be? I dunno about that. What I see is a lot of people overanalyzing the 1st games of preseason at arguably the hardest position to jump right back into after a summer of not seeing NHL calibre shots in a game setting.

You wanna develop young goalies? We're gonna have to play them and deal with some growing pains just like any other position. Gillies and Rittich both show a ton of promise. To say Treliving "needs" to be looking elsewhere is questionable IMO. I think the Flames coaches and scouts have a lot more confidence in the ability of Gillies/Rittich than some of you do. They were rookies last year and had some expected growing pains. But we'll never develop any NHL goalies if we are too scared to trust them to be backups.
