And if Rask doesn't heal properly? I understand that Ullmark hasn't worked to this point but it is also very risky to go into a season with two very young goalies. Vladar has been good for the flames but he is coming back down to earth quickly since the Flames aren't over achieving anymore. You aren't really ever going to get that much for an backup caliber goalie.
The NMC for Ullmark is beyond stupid.
It is not ideal to have to send Swayman down but now you have three NHL caliber goalies. Tuuks gets his last shot. If someone gets hurt or gets Covid, you have depth.

sometimes you gotta take a chance, Vladar and Swayman looked capable last year. Swayman should have had more playing time in the playoffs last year, especially if they know how hurt Rask was.
