Isn't that like a decade's worth of second rounders?

Surprising return. Avs must think they can address the issues in his game.

You do realize we got more for Berra than any of Fasth, Bryzgalov, Tim Thomas don't you?

Yup... Burke is redeemed. Sweet baby Jesus, Roy must have watched Reto's YouTube highlights.

This is ridiculous. Berra is a UFA after this year too according to Capgeek.

I like Berra and think he'll be better then Ramo (isn't now) but I'm blown away by a 2nd round pick. I thought for sure a 6th, or 5th at most.
Yeah, I think he's very raw but has good potential. With him going there with Francois Allaire as their goalie coach I feel he can really become a good goaltender.

That's funny, I would have thought he would have been traded to the RANGERS

Burke - "he's a shootout specialist. Give me your 2nd."

Not comparing the two but lots of people said COL was crazy to give up a 1st and a 2nd for Varlamov. Time will tell.

Roy must have some goalie love for Berra - 2nd sounds like a great return.

Heh if anything it would make them a lot more patient and thoughtful. My first thought was he must be drinking heavily.

Colorado's management structure still confuses me - not sure who is calling the shots and who isn't. The general consensus though seems to be that Roy is basically the acting GM and makes the trades. So given that, I think you`re seeing a rookie mistake from a guy with a different scope of priorities than a normal GM because he has to coach as well.

Depending on what night an organization played the Flames and if Berra was on his game I could see a team or two intrigued as there were a lot of highlight saves. I think he would have been a good backup but at the end of the day there appears to be a log jam at the position and a 2nd round pick is fantastic return for a guy that's a relative unknown around the league.

It's as recent as 3 drafts' worth.

Also, 6 drafts if you want to look at it that way (Sutter and his dislike of 2nds).

We should be thanking Feaster for acquiring Berra in the first place.
