Ramo hasn't shown nearly as much potential.

Rämö put up .931 both against Washington in Calgary and against LA. The LA performance especially was very good.
While I agree that Berra seems to have more potential due to his size and athleticism, Rämö is somewhat more calm between the pipes. Some goalies just never can handle the pressure of being an NHL starter, especially for a Canadian team. There's no guarantee Berra ever will.
Rämö's major issue is his rebound control, which is horrid by NHL standards and even worse than Berras. If he can get that under control, I think he could be a solid journeyman type / backup goalie.
