When I was a young boy, the Calgary Flames seemed to have a very particular idea of what a goaltender should be. They jettisoned Mike Vernon, a perfectly fine but physically tiny older goaltender, in favour of a young, tall man named Trevor Kidd.
Trevor Kidd never really worked out. He was an excellent junior goaltender, winning awards and medals and championships. He just couldn't bring it together as a professional.
Now the Flames have another tall goaltender with some impressive amateur pedigree. Per the annual ranking by FlamesNation's writing staff, the Calgary Flames' second-best prospect is Jon Gillies.
