Ramo and Berra in the NHL next year. Let them rotate the first 20-30 games to allow them to get comfortable with the league and the team and just play their games without worrying about sitting on the bench and playing every 8th or 9th game. Play them and see what you have and then decide around December if one or both are not going to work out.
Brossoit and Ortio in the AHL next year. Clean house on the goalies currently here and let these two young guys learn the league and give Ortio another chance to adjust to the NA ice surface and the game. Same thing as the NHL tandem, let them alternative the first 20-30 games so that they can work on their games and build some confidence.
This is about the long term health of the franchise and not about a band-aid situation. The Flames need to do this the right way when it comes to developing these goaltenders.
