The Calgary Flames were also pushing hard to acquire the newest member of the Maple Leafs, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
The Flames are in desperate need of help between the pipes, and LeBrun speculates the club may now set their sights on other potential solutions such as James Reimer, Jimmy Howard, Marc-Andre Fleury, Brian Ellliott, or Ben Bishop.
The Flames finished last season 30th in the league and were one of only two teams that averaged more than three goals-against per game (3.13).
