I'd say he's doing a pretty commendable job considering he's been out of the league for several years. He's looking to have some promise and for that I'm glad he's signed through next year. I'm interested to see what he can do over that time.
Berra, comparably, is 6-14-2 without a regulation win and well into backup territory in terms of stats.

Ramo has exceeded my expectations, Berra is about what I expected. I think Hartley has managed our goalies exceptionally well.
All that said, I agree that I would like to see about 8-10 more Berra starts before I judge whether or not he should be re-signed. I don't think anybody can really be sure of what he is or what he can be yet.
Ramo responded extremely well to a long bench period with coaching, but he had had previous NHL ice experience.
I would also like a look at Joni Ortio at some point.
