There are allot of free agent goaltenders available this summer.
Backstrom
Smith
Emery
Thomas
Howard
Mason
Ellis
LaBarbera
McDonald
Theodore
Budaj
Montoya
and more.
If the Flames are without Kipper and content to go with Ramo, the i would be shocked if they don't grab one of these guys as a backup who can play 30ish games.
I would also be shocked if they give away young assets for a guy like Bernier, unless something happens to make them loss all faith in Ramo.
I also hope they have learned something from this season and just go after the best face-off man in free agentcy, then fit him into the line up.
And they will do something about Defence this off season weather it is free agents or trade. But there is no way Breen & Cundri are on the opening day roster, or we will be in 30th next year.
