Trading for Bernier would be singularly stupid, we don't have a goaltending depth issue.
What would be singularly stupid is handing the starting goaltender job to a guy who hasn't played a single game in the NHL. Apprenticing as a backup for a season or two is the normal route to becoming an NHL starter.

And the rest of the Flames' goaltending depth is 4-6 years away from NHL-starter ready.
