Not saying Ramage will be as good as Regehr, but the same qualities exist. Plus, he hates to lose.
He'll be a great leader wherever the farm team is next year. Given that his upside is bottom-pairing D man he should have every chance to succeed right off the bat. This season was his best by a long shot in the NCAA, and I wonder how much if it has to do with Weisbrod's comments about him I'm the off season. He seemed pretty 'meh' about Ramage to the press, and Ramage went out and doubled his offensive numbers. Must have an awesome attitude.

I think we should sign Gary Suter's kid as well. And any MacInnis, Gilmour, Mullen, Loob, Vernon & Otto relatives we can find.
