So it would have been better to not have not signed Ramo? I don't understand what he should have done in your view. I still don't see that having the "three headed monster" was the issue. Ortio never played, so it was really two goalies who played poorly (and the team in front of them as well). It may have hurt Ortio's development, but the team believed he was close to being ready and didn't want to lose him to waivers. Fact is, he sucked once given the opportunity and is still struggling in the AHL by all accounts.
As I had posted when all of this went on: Two goalies are better than 3. But having 3 shouldn't crater their tender little egos. None of them grabbed the starting job at the beginning of the year, and that is on them.
