It's the best season to see what can these guys do. Everybody especially the media predicted they are not going to make the playoffs and might be in last place anyways. Why even bother bringing in a Reimer or Bryzgalov who likely stay for a season or two? Then when those guys leave, you'll end up going back to Berra, Ramo or Ortio. It is a sink or swim for our young goalies this season. If they make mistakes let them learn from it and gain experience.
It's funny, Calgary fans been begging for a rebuild but when the season starts, they want so and so on this team because they don't think this so and so player or goalie is pretty raw and not good enough for this season. For me, i would stick to the goalies we have. If halfway through the season and the Flames are way far behind in the standing, I would even waive or trade Joey Mac and call up Reto Berra or Ortio to be the backup for the rest of the season.
