Boston's 1st, Spooner, and another decent prospect (or their second rounder?) probably does it for me.

I just don't see any value in bringing in a goalie using our higher end tadeing chips.
Even if Ramo doesn't come over next year, who cares, sign a journey man goalie as our starter and really plunge to the bottom with a purpose.
We have several goalies in the pipeline, hell we can even give Irving a 1 year contract and really stink with him and Taylor.
But Bernier as a primary piece in a trade is a waste unless the prospect is something special.
the Flames need to address specific needs, and that's a young skilled center with size, more physical toughness and depending on which blueliner stays a good 2 way pointman.
Goalie should be at the bottom of the list.
