I think the time to trade is now- admitting it's a lot easier said, than done in the NHL.
Dubnyk for a third might be a good price-setter for Ramo. Move him, and decide the future is now for Ortio, like they have for Gaudreau, Granlund, Jooris. I like Ramo- but don't think the playoff chances take a hit by replacing with Ortio now.
On top of that, it jumps development of a key player in preparation for another step forward as a team next season.
