Bring on the goalies!

[Ashasx]

Now sign Ramo.

[dammage79]

Will be very interested to see how he does at camp this summer/fall. There is potential there for sure.

Hmmm, would we hold his rights after? Anyone know?

[calgarybornnraised]

So Kipper's as good as gone now.

[GGG]

1 way or 2 way

[kyuss275]

They must really like him to not have wasted any time. This will probably put the Bernier and Bishop rumours to rest.

Ramo and Berra nnext year? Not sure how i feel about that.

[skudr248]

Ramo signed already?

[Imported_Aussie]

Could be a very open contest in camp, a few guys all potentially fighting for starter time. Or a cast of nearly-there guys being the band-aid trying to cover the weak defence

[Redrum]

Wonder where all these goalies are going to go next year. Getting a little crowded in that department.

[drPepper1]

Life without Kipper will be difficult. Not sure if will be treated to anymore highlight reel saves on the regular for sometime

I don't think they can negotiate until May 1st

It could be that Ramo has no interest in signing with the Flames or has decided to stay in Russia and this is why the Flames have made moves to acquire another goaltender. I would think the Flames would have got Ramo's name on a contract right after his season ended. IIRC Ramo's season ended a couple weeks ago?

Does he have to pass through waivers to come here this season like Ramo does?

edit: nm I see it's for next year.

[gargamel]

Are there contractual/CBA impediments to him coming over now, or is there a chance that we'd give him a look for a few games this season?

[Canada 02]

Roger says this will be officially announced next month. The contract is for next year

[SofaProfessor]

Next year our starter and backup will have less than a full NHL season of experience between them. Book it, folks.

[boogerz]

Both Kipper and Irving are probably gone, and the Flames are going with a Ramo/Berra tandem next year

Hopefully Berra is better than Karlsson

[Miniac]

That was quick
