Totally agree, unless that goalie is such a studd prospect that he's likely to be in the NHL within a year or two.....and even then I don't like it. Absolutely ridiculous to select a long term project goalie in the first round.

Face it, Irving's play brought this move on. He just isn't a quality NHL goalie at this point - back-up, or otherwise.
I'd like to hang onto him a bit longer to see it through as he still has some potential.

Wow didn't see this happening so quickly. Feaster and Hartley obviously have no future plans for Irving or Taylor. It will be odd to have 4 goalies under contract. You would think 1 of them at least will be traded, waived etc.
Don't really know much about MacDonald other than he won't be wearing #9.

Couldn't they have signed some guy to a pto for a game or two?
It just really sucks for these kids. They work so hard in the AHL, finally an opportunity opens up, the team signs you to a contract, you don't even hope to start but at least you earning an NHL pay cheque, and then the team claims some old backup who isn't really goin t o make a difference between winning or losing and you go back to earning your AHL pay cheque.

Solid Back-up for Irving with a Kipper + trade for something Bigger in the works? Anything is possible at this point in time. Either way, no way Feaster and Weisbrod let the contract spots ride this high for much longer.

If the Flames traded Irving for any draft pick I would be fine with it. If he isn't going to be the back up and Ward clearly does not want him with the Heat, then ship him out Feaster.
This is a mess.

Matt Pelech was called up today and will be in the lineup for San Jose tonight. He's going to be playing forward.

There is no way in hell we trade Kipper.
Irving + a 1st for Clutterbuck!
Butler for Tootoo.
Cammy for Chris Neil.
Lets see the Canucks laugh on the bench the next time we play them.

If this move means the Flames are moving on from Irving I believe it's a mistake. 24 year old goalie who was the best Flame on the ice on Saturday.
I didn't see the 5th goal but I'm baffled how anyone can say he looked shaky against the Canucks. IMO just a poor message to send a guy who's looked worthy of at least a couple more starts this season.

Might as well...not sure the direction of the team is any sillier than this currently.

How can anyone say that after the 2nd and 4th goals? Also that 2nd goal, the game winning goal was a back breaker.

And our 2014 1st rounder for George Parros and our 2014 2nd rounder for Colton Orr.

Feel bad for Irving.
Meanwhile Comeau will probably get moved up a line and Butler stays in the lineup.

Scoring Winger

This is a dumb move for multiple reasons...
1) Cammy sitting in an important game for a backup goalie. Yes he Cammy has struggled but seriously he needs to be in the lineup in order to contribute.
2)Irving is likely crushed. He played well in Vancouver on Saturday with a terrible team in front of him. Now he is essentially bumpd for some random "veteran" goalie.
Flames new modo "Older is better". Another decision with no thought, great job Flames!
