Abbotsford Heat (G) Barry Brust signed by Medvescak Zagreb of the KHL #AHL #KHL
So where does that leave the Heat's goaltender situation? Leland has been left to walk, Taylor has signed in Sweden and now Brust in the KHL.

Doesn't change anything. He wasn't going to be back.

Once Ramo signs next week, the Flames will have Ramo, Berra, and MacDonald fighting for the two spots in Calgary with Ortio and Brossoit also under contract.

It will likely shake out with Ramo and MacDonald in Calgary, Berra and Ortio in Abbotsford, and Brossoit in Utah. If Berra and Ramo both show that they're NHL-ready, MacDonald is possible trade-bait, and Ortio and Brossoit share the net with the Heat.

not a problem ... the Flames will have 5 goaltenders under contract next year: Ramo, Berra, MacDonald, Brossoit and Ortio. My guess:

NHL: Ramo & MacDonald
AHL: Berra & Ortio
ECHL: Brossoit

Not surprising that Brust and Taylor want to move on ... I would too in their situation. Just too crowded in the Flames organization right now, no spot for AHL only goalies any more.

EDIT: beaten by getbak!

It's Brust becomes the best goalie outside the NHL the Flames can sign him for next season.

Gotta say, Brust's run earlier this season was one of my favourite moments as a Heat fan. Breaking Johnny Bauer's record and all. He's also quite the character. He's such a cool guy.

Good to hear he's landed on his skates. Hope he makes lots of do-re-me.

would not be surprised if the Flames carried 3 healthy goalies at times during next regular season

It's awesome. I love it.

It might also surprise some people to know how popular hockey actually is there as a spectator sport. Over the past few years, people have seen it as a good alternative to the tense and often unfriendly atmosphere of soccer games. The Medveščak club promotes itself as an event that families can take their children to and not have to worry about exposing them to unwanted elements.

I'm sure it will be a good experience for Brust.
