Yes. Definitely. He is the type of goalie that can steal games and provide wins that otherwise this team will likely not see next season. If we want a winning culture here next year then Kipper is the single best tool we can use to have that.
I also think that playing beside Kipper would be a much better learning experience for Ramo than playing beside MacDonald. I would rather have Ramo learning from the "master" instead of learning from the "tutor".
Both Kipper and MacDonald are under contract for next year so I see no reason to argue any kind of loyalty to MacDonald because we signed him to a 1 year deal. If both Kipper and Ramo are at camp then MacDonald should be traded or waived to a team that could use a veteran backup.
