This is like when people wanted the Flames to desperately claim that bum Khudobin
Nope, just that we are currently in a highly fluid period of player moves and all of which seem to be pretty good deals. Let's get in on it and address a need.

If the point is we should have traded for Tokarski then... no thanks. If the pount is we need to make a trade just to make a trade then...... no thanks.
Treliving is calculated. If nothing makes sense, he will wait till the right deal is there.
Yeah, they had a glut of goaltenders, actually, the Habs are in a fairly similar situation to the Flames except their glut of goaltenders are performing well.
Every single one of our goaltenders shat the bed at the beginning of this season, if they'd performed well it would be different.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Tokarski had a couple good games last season and everyone overvalued him. He is actually very comparable to Ortio in the sense that he came in and had some quality starts but did not follow it up the next season.

After leaving last night's game following goal-mouth collision, @JohnGibson35 is on the ice for today's #NHLDucks practice.
So now the Ducks have Tokarski and Khudobin on the farm and Gibson and Andersson with the big club. Thats some good goaltending deph.

Which goalie that is an improvement on Ramo is available? How does a flurry of trades mean that suddenly the Flames have an opportunity to land a better #1?
None of this makes any sense.

If you think the only goaltending position worth addressing is #1 starter I guess I get your confusion.
I'll keep it simple: Some moves inspire reaction moves. Would be nice if we made the right calls beforehand and end up able to capitalise, should that happen. I hope that happens. That's all.
Goaltenders that might improve on Hiller and Ortio? Plenty. Available? Fewer. Though, the Ducks have Gibson, Andersen, Khudobin, and Tokarski, as an example. You think they keep all of the first three the rest of the year? You think not one of the three would improve on anyone we have?

I was actually more interested in Friberg when I saw the thread title. Hasn't really caught on at the NHL level. I recall him being a good player in the WJC at one point.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
Insurance move. Gibson gets coverage, and then after recovery they can leave Tokarski in AHL, or if they see a good trade, move Andersson to address another area on their team

I think Gibson would be a huge improvment and likely not available at all
Andersen a marginal and available for a stiff price
And the rest not at all.
