Who cares if the Flames don't get much in return, they still get something. That means they aren't losing an asset for nothing. That's a big deal, regardless if it's a 2nd rounder or a 5th rounder. Not to mention Ramo is slightly favoured and seems to be more consistent than Hiller.

Agreed. If Ramo is a UFA, there's a good chance he's in Edmonton. If Ortio is exposed to waivers, same thing.
If you can sign Ramo to good dollars, you can at least then choose where he goes.
It'd be funny if you trade Ramo to Edmonton for a 5th without signing him and then he doesn't sign with them and goes to, say Buffalo.
