Okay, I kind of see where you're coming from, but I figure that Karri Ramo is going to be at the tail-end of his usefulness by the time the Flames are competitive again.
I see Ramo ending up as the Turek-esque backup to the next goaltender, be that Ortio or someone else, once the Flames are competitive and in that vein his being pushed or if his backup is MacDonald or a shooter-tutor as fairly irrelevant.
I will agree that from a competitive perspective it does make more sense to have someone that can push him so long as that kind of individual can be acquired at all and at a reasonable cost.
