He might have the tools, but so does so many other goaltenders who just won't get there, he had a good start, lets give him more games before we plan his future in this organization, I mean, Rämö was way better than Berra ever was in Europe. Lets hope his game evaluates to the NA style much better.

He won back to back NLA goaltender of the year awards before coming over to play in Calgary. I would hardly call that "average"... clearly he was a dominant player over there. Those accolades put him in good company as well seeing as both Jonas Hiller and Cristobal Huet have each won that award twice. I can't help but to think that you are selling his body of work short. He has more individual awards to his name than Karri Ramo, and also has a better international track record as well.
