He's been okay since but last I checked Ramo is the 32 ranked goaltender in the NHL. I'm sorry but unless you believe in legends like Eddie Lack, bringing him back is asking for another serving of failure.
I like his attitude and he seems like a decent fella but he and Hiller cost the team and fans the season and shouldn't be rewarded with another contract.

Sure we can drop him. But the alternative off UFA is what? Ward and Reimer? I'm honestly thinking that Ramo is pretty much a wash. I certainly don't mind the Flames not re-signing Ramo, especially if they think this injury is too much to come back from...I just don't think the situation will get better next year without surrendering assets. We could be arguing why the Flames took Cam Ward in a year's time.
