I haven't sat down and looked at the actual numbers, but it seems that since Kipper went down the Flames are needing to score 4+ goals to win. Even in their (Flames) wins the opposition is still scoring 4-5 goals. While the Flames have got some points over that stretch, it's not sustainable so I would say, yes, the Flames need him.

I think you also have to know what you have in Ramo. There was hype around him in his first stint in the NHL but he never materialized. Looking back his numbers weren't that good, but he was young and he's had a few more years to develop since then but still nothing to bet the farm on.
