Trying to acquire Domingue falls into the same category as all the other backup goalies out there. Rantaa, Lack, Grubauer, Condon, ect. Sure, he has decent numbers, but are we expecting him to take be relied upon for the number 1 job next year?
Just not sure what the answer is. We either bring in a bonafide number 1, which will cost us quite a bit. And depending on contract situation could spell the end for our goalies developing in the system. Or go with a 1a/1b situation again and hope it works......if its the 1a/1b situation are any of the above goalies better than Elliot...I would say not. -
Since he is hitting the FA market and is 29, he will almost certainly get a significant raise on the $2.8 million he was making on his last deal. Not worth it at all. If you are going to go spend that money and want a guy like that, might as well designate that money to Stone. He is a RH shot.

I wasn't impressed with Ramo's lateral movement. He was scrambling at times and got out of position. All in all though it was a good effort. Can't fault him for 2 of the goals as 1 was a nasty deflection off Hudler and the other was a vicious one timer from arguably the best player in the game. I agree with those saying he needs some games under his belt to get a real idea where we're at with our goaltending.
Everyone is commenting on this lateral movement and although it wasn't the best (he was scrambling at times) that should improve with more starts. He's still adjusting to NA ice compared to the larger ice surface from Europe.
I agree, we need to give him a number of games before casting real judgment.

On Ramo:
He didn't look or play or perform like an NHL goaltender, imho. I know there's a lot of love for the guy on here, so I'm sure there will be lots of "he had no chance", etc. That will buy him a few more games. I guess we'll see.
What an ugly comment.
What are your reasons for him not looking like an NHL goaltender? Please expand because I have heard no real augment coming from you, just your opinion on how you don't like him.

I wish Danny all the best, but he was able to read the cards (signing Bera, soon to be signing Ramo) and he knew that the chance of him playing significant minutes for the Flames was very very low.
Good luck in Sweden.

But what is it going to cost to bring in an unproven Grubauer? Now was are once again relying on a young goalie to come into Calgary. He was playing behind a really good Washington team.
