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.

Totally disagree with this.
I would argue that you always need good goaltending, rebuild or not. Bad goaltending can hurt the development of your young players. They need to have a feeling that they can win every night, they need confidence in the goaltender. Looking at our organization we have a serious lack of depth in that position right now.
Brossoit and Gillies are at least 5 years away if they even make the show at all.
