Allaire is fine and all, but Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur (and even Giguere) were found and mentored a long time ago. Don't forget he was with the Leafs when they decided to get Jonas Gustavsson who did not pan out in the least (another tall European goalie). Its not like he's some goalie whisperer.
The main issue with all of this is there are competing with no one for Berra's services. There is no need to trade a 2nd round pick for the guy or to sign him to a 3 year deal.
