So all year I have heard about how much the flames love Ramo and how he is the goalie of the future. His numbers in the KHL are really good IMO and he does look to have some upside. Now with Kipper announcing that he is retiring after this year does that open the door for Ramo to come in and start or where is that going? If anyone has some insight that would be awesome

Probably gonna be a camp competition between Ramo and Berra, if they can get Berra over to North America. Per Jay Feaster a couple days ago, after the Bouwmeester trade, Flames management/scouting believes that Ramo and Berra are the two best goalies not currently playing in the NHL. Their scouts are basically split down the middle on which one is better. I would compare it to what will happen in Tampa next year, with no clear number 1 between Bishop and Lindback. Only difference will be the size of goalies lol.
I would be careful about putting too much hope on Ramo. He will be given a chance but nothing is guaranteed. I think at best he gets a platoon situation with a vet free agent.

Two really good posts above me. My point is that we don't know what'll happen with Kipper as of yet. It's certainly possible he stays around for another year and gums up the works. Ramo has potential but is guaranteed nothing as of yet.

A bit off topic but I'm sick of watching the Flames go off the radar. It's like they think they're smarter than everyone else and yet their track record says otherwise. Hard to repeat the glory days when they used to find guys like Otto and Suter as FAs or late round picks.
