Karri Ramo tears ACL, Ending Season

This morning, it was announced that Calgary Flames goaltender Karri Ramo tore his ACL and has meniscus damage. He will not play for the rest of the season. He as a record of 17-18-1 this season with a GAA of 2.63 and a .909 SV%. You never want to see this for any player/goaltender. What will this injury mean to the Calgary Flames? Well they've already called up John Ortio to Calgary to replace him. Will they even have him by the start of next season? Will the Flames have to trade him? The Flames have a small likelihood of making the playoffs this April, but it still hurts their chances. I'm not sure they can hold out with Jonas Hiller and John Ortio, but weirder things have happened. Last year's Ottawa Senators with Robin Lehner, and the breakout star, Andrew "The Hamburglar" Hammond.
