Karri Ramo, torn ACL, done for the season

This news isn't particularly shocking, but it is devastating. Karri Ramo, who went from sacrificial AHL lamb to the Flames' starter, is officially done for the year with a torn ACL and meniscus damage, suffered in the final minutes of a 6-5 shootout win over San Jose.

Ramo will require surgery, and is expected to be out for 6-8 months. He's an upcoming UFA, so that's it for him this season, both as a Flame and as potential trade bait. He could recover in time for the start of the 2016-17 season, but who knows where he'll be playing then?
