That's not a risk the Flames should take. Ramage is everything the Flames are lacking on the blue line and you hate to watch that walk away because you're nickel and diming a guy. Flames need a blue liner with some grit and leadership. It's been missing since Regehr lost his desire to play for the Flames. Not saying Ramage will be as good as Regehr, but the same qualities exist. Plus, he hates to lose.
