Which goalie do you want starting for the Flames?

[The Old Master]

Treliving is a very proactive GM who really does his due diligence. This really shouldn't be a huge surprise, and not looked into too much. If true also I might add.

this.........there should be 4/5 or more other gm's talking to the pens also. its what they do.

I think Toronto can outbid us for a goalie if we want the same one bad enough. They have more assets specifically draft picks.

And the ability to take on salary. Treliving's got his work cut out for him.. At the end of the day, there's always Ramo

I hope Toronto goes out and gets Gibson. One less team driving up the other goalies prices. I have no interest in Gibson anyway.

Do not overpay for a burnt out guy....find some talent that is blocked at the NHL level,,,, (similar to how Kipper or Bishop got their opportunity).

But that requires good eye for goaltending talent. The Flames have none, not with Tod Button.

So roll the dice and hope to get lucky ...just dont use the 6th OV pick for it.

Yes, but there's always other mitigating factors such as, do teams want to trade their assets inter-conference? What type of assets are they looking for?

For instance - for most teams trading goaltenders, they want to be contenders, not rebuilders. Calgary has more developed assets than Toronto in that respect.

Either way, I'd actually like Treliving to stay out of a bidding war (if that happens) and even let Toronto grab a goalie first. There's enough players on the market that the first goalie acquired won't necessarily be the best deal made.

this is true...also I think the pens are going to give maf a choice in where he wants to go.....so it might not be the highest bidder. (if the bids are somewhat close)

I don't want any of these goalies because they'd all require an overpayment or just a huge asset to get.

 

[Yung Rotini]

I want the one that can stop the puck

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Thought I posted in here. Odd. I picked Reimer. I want the Flames to give up as little assets as possible to acquire a goalie.

Nice pick flames4eva
Only one who picked Elliott lol. I'm quite happy with our acquisition today.

I totally picked him too

I totally picked him too

I see that lol. When i bumped the thread Elliott only had one vote. I foolishly chose Andersen awhile ago.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I've closed the poll haha.
