The only issue with keeping Ramo around is that you'd likely have to sign him to a multi year deal at a reasonable raise and then pay for another goalie as well. So if you went with a Ramo-Ward tandem you're looking at probably 10-11 million in goaltending. Go out and find a top tier goalie for 6-7 million and play Poulin as the backup and you keep it closer to 8. Much like they're paying now but with hopefully a bonafide starter.
