Berra has all the physical tools and appeared to progress as the season went on but every time you thought he was turning into a legit NHL goaltender he would let in a few soft or average goals in the 3rd period of a game. Combine that with his age and a suspect glove hand and I don't blame the Flames for moving on when Ramo is signed for another season and Ortio looks to already have better fundamentals than Berra.
That said Berra seemed like a good guy and I hope he does well in Colorado and maybe the trade can be a win for him as the 2nd round pick is definitely a win for the Flames.

Thought the same thing EE then heard or read can't remember exactly that Allaire apparently watched Berra in the Swiss League very closely that's where the relationship comes from I think.
