Talent Analysis
Ramage has excellent hockey sense in all zones of the ice and shows character with leadership qualities by always giving a maximum effort while exerting his physical presence throughout the game. The average sized defenseman plays with patience, poise and has a strong puck moving game. He will play at least one more year at Wisconsin, but has the potential to develop into a very capable defensive-defenseman with some offensive upside at the NHL level.
Future
Ramage has already informed the Flames' management that he has more things he would like to accomplish at the University of Wisconsin in his junior year. The physical defenseman will be playing a bigger role offensively while playing on both the power play and penalty killing units. He will provide leadership, character and a more overall game from the backend.
