RUMOUR: Flames Shopping Goalie
The Calgary Flames are in an interesting position as a franchise right now, as they have three players all worthy of being their starting goalie.
Ultimately, one will have to move before the season starts, or else one won't get the playing time they deserve.
It appears the odd-man out is Dan Vladar.
Vladar Available
The Flames have one of the best goalie prospects in the league in their system in Dustin Wolf. Betting on save percentage is always safe, and he has carried his elite numbers from league to league.
Finally making his NHL debut in game #82 for the Flames last year, Wolf could be the team's most skilled option to be their man this season.
The team also has veteran Jacob Markstrom, who carries trade protection, and an $6-million annual deal. It's fair to say that he is unmovable barring a major sweetener.
So, Vladar is the man out, and he'll certainly get a lot of interest. He's still young by goalie standards, and won't be as expensive as many other options considering Calgary has no real leverage.
Trade talks are reportedly heating up around #Flames�goaltender Dan Vladar.
With Dustin Wolf being a lock for the NHL, it seems like the Flames are motivated to make a move quickly.
