Agreed. Kiprusoff had been living off of goodwill for a while.
Whether or not Ramo or Berra will be legitimate starters in the NHL is still to be determined, but considering that this current version of the Flames is probably the weakest we have ever seen, the results so far have been satisfactory at the very least.
We're still at the stage of the rebuild that throwing darts is an acceptable tactic for trying to find talent, and both goalies are at least worthy of that given the results.
