kehatch Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'll admit this: Ben Walter probably isn't worth extending this discussion to 3 pages. There are a lot more players than Knight, but that's beside the point. I do find it interesting that we're taking opposite stances on the same concept, between here and the Ortio thread. We aren't though. Ben Walter is a 29 year old career AHLer who has bounced around teams. Reta Berra is a 26 year old just getting his shot at the the North American game. The former isn't going to make the NHL full time. The second might. It isn't the same argument. I am under no delusion that Berra has a high chance of being an NHL full timer. But I don't think any of our tweener goalies do (Ramo, Berra, Ortio) so I think having more chances is better then less. So I think he was worth a shot as a cheap add in on the Bouwmeester trade. Goalies come out of nowhere all of the time. I have learned not to write off goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
