The goalie? He's terrible lol

We need a GOOD goalie, Brad!

Only way this makes sense is if there's another deal or an injury I'm unaware of.

Not happy with this. The guy has made a career of choking. Couldn't close the cup finals against Edmonton, couldn't survive the Leafs front office. Not going to help us at all.

Start him.

He can't be worse than Hiller (dead last in NHL sv %), Ortio (3rd last) and Ramo (7th last)

Futures? Alrighty then.

I don't mind stocking up on options where we are weakest (SOMEONE has to come through... right?)

Considering he hasn't really performed stellar anywhere he's played:

...I'd think this is backup AHL 'tending.

At some point in the future, someone will ask, "Hey, what did we give up to get that guy?" The person they ask will consider looking it up, but not get around to it.

I think we actually did manage to pick up a goalie worse than the ones we have. Poulin is terrible, we should've just signed Irving.

I read your post and then clicked to my twitter feed and there it was

Unfortunately it's the wrong goalie.

Clearly an AHL move for now, with hopes for the future.

Hopefully this only means that the Flames have lost confidence in Simpson, and not that Gillies is going to be hurt longer than expected.

Backup for the Heat so we have enough goalies there for when we package Hiller and Ramo & Ortio together in a trade?
