Many of us predicted that goal tending might be the Flames biggest weakness this season. It is early, but so far that prediction is proving to be correct.
That said, there wasn't exactly a bunch of options for the Flames this season. None of the veteran guys are going to carry the load. And wasting assets to acquire a guy like Bernier when they are banking on Ramo next season doesn't make sense.
If Toronto or another team is interested though I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on a guy like Bernier and get what we can for Kipper. But the Flames won't.
They would rather take a chance that Kipper is great and get nothing if they are wrong rather then take a chance on a guy like Bernier and still have a young up and commer if they are wrong.
Frustrating fing team.

I'd wager a lot of money Kipper hangs them up after this season, and Iggy plays out the year and signs somewhere else, leaving us with our hands in our pockets. I hope like hell it doesn't end this way, but management seems hell-bent on self destruction.
