Looks like MAF is top of the line now.

At least his contract is better.

Would have to think they have something worked out for either Niemi or Lehtonen then?

Well, hopefully we get Grubauer or Murray.

...but I all of a sudden have a sinking feeling Elliott will be back and that is a real downer.

I guess we will have to see if he signs or takes it to FA.

Well, I reserve full judgement until I hear what (or even if) he signs for. He was the goalie I wish the Flames were targeting. Lots of other options this year, so I am not panicking.
