A backup for Ramo would be a good thing to snag on Tuesday as well. Greiss would be my preferred option but an interesting name I haven't heard much of is Chad Johnson from the Bruins. Solid numbers, and he and his girlfriend both live in Calgary during the offseason, I believe.

Not that Vrbata is coming from a winning franchise, but I'd rather have him in the locker room mentoring the kids than Havlat who, at this point, has to be pretty down on himself.
If we were pushing for a playoff spot, I would agree with you that Havlat might be a risk worth taking but I just don't see a reclamation project serving a role that we will need on this team.
Plus, there will be a lot of losses... which isn't going to help Havlat find his game much.
