Anything is possible but if it was that easy to find these guys teams like the Flyers wouldn't be perennially searching for them and lets not forget that outside of Kipper there were very lean years for this organization at the position post Vernon.

Nice move of the goal posts. Could Ramo or Berra be the answer? Possibly. Do you think anyone knew Boborovsky was going to become a star goaltender like that? How about Lundqvist? You just never know until you see these guys play. I suspect that Ramo will be a very different player than he was in Tampa. He could turn out to be pretty good if the Flames play some defense in front of him. I think that is the point that matters the most, and not what round the goaltender was drafted in, or whether you want to call him a franchise goaltender or not. If the team plays well in front of the goaltender you can make anyone look good. Even a shlub like Crawford!
The post-Vernon comment made me lol. Mentioned Anderson was a Flames pick. I guess you missed that. I guess you also missed this guy named Kirpusoff that just played for us for the past eight years. Like all teams the Flames had their share of missed opportunities between the pipes and opportunities to pick up guys that could have been good. The thing with goaltenders is they are hit-and-miss regardless of when you draft them and the fit with the team appears to be as important a factor as anything.
