Good decision by the team. MacDonald just wasn't getting it done. He has certainly made some big saves, and is probably the best back-up the team has had in years, but it makes sense to give Berra a try and see what he has.
Ramo hasn't been much better, but he's looked more composed and doesn't seem to have the same degree of rebound control issues compared to MacDonald.
I don't mind this at all. In many ways it will be a good thing for the team if he is picked up on the waiver wire. That will keep Berra and Ramo with the Flames, and allow both Ortio and Brossoit to split duties with the Heat.
In the context of re-building, that would probably be the best scenario until one of these guys can establish themselves as the number one, or until a move is made to bring someone else in.
