My answer to that would be... So? The only way the Flames need a goalie with NHL experience is if we somehow catch lightning in a bottle and Joey MacDonald isn't the guy that's going to catch that for us, Ramo might be. I'd much rather see what we have in our "best goalies outside North America" and pick up a Joey MacDonald greybeard back-up off of waivers (like we did with MacDonald) mid-season if need be.
Down on the farm what I'd like would be for the Flames to bring Ortio over full-time so that he and Broisset can share netminding duties in Abbotsford (No Taylor's and No Brust's please... I don't care if Ward wants one tell him to suck it up and give games to the actual prospects).
Time for Irving to find a home elsewhere. I hope he makes it but it's agonizingly apparent that he won't make it here.
