Poor guy, to go from a solid team like Columbus to Arizona half way through the season must be frustrating.

 

[Duck Off]

First I was like: "Who the hell is Damage?" then I saw it was Ramage and was like "who the hell is Ramage?"

 

[Nakawick]

Damage control

does t matter? what's the chances he plays any real minutes, or at all

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel.

Chayka added a d-man for the Tucson Roadrunners.

 

[Volica]

Son of Rob, a guy who played 1000 games, a couple cups and a bunch of all-star appearances.

I thought John was going to be a solid bottom pair guy in the league for a long time... I was wrong.

 

[Sideline]

Am I the only one that was like "no way Rob Ramage is still playing!"

 

[Heldig]

Roadrunners gearing up for a championship run?

He's going from the last place Cleveland Monsters to the first place Tucson Roadrunners. #Worst2First

Wow, I looked this up because I thought it was a joke... Not sure how I never saw this. It's an obvious nod to the cartoon, but doesn't the Coyote always get destroyed somehow??

As far as the trade goes, cool.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Isn't future consideration to much for him?

 

[thewave]

Precursor trade.

Precursor trade.

I can't see this being anything on CBJs end of things since they weren't all that close to 50 contracts. Maybe ARZ was looking to add a veteran pro body for when they move out OEL+Hjalmarsson.

What's notable about this transaction, is that CBJ management is clearly doing someone a favour, whether that's ARZ or Ramage. Unless I am mistaken, waiver priority is determined by point percentage, not total points. So Buffalo would have had a chance to scoop up Ramage. I guess it's possible that ARZ showed a willingness to give Ramage NHL time so CBJ did him a solid by trading him rather than waiving him.

I don’t think it had to do anything with waivers as he was already waived at the beginning of the year. It’s more for Tuscan gearing up for the playoffs.

 

[NewtJorden]

Is he related to Rob Ramage?

 

[uncleben]

This is 100% a trade for Tucson, however...

After spending contract slots in transactions for depth guys like Tye McGinn, Josh Archibald, Freddie Hamilton, and now John Ramage, the Coyotes are at 50 contracts...
I can only see this as part of a ramp up for dumping a lot of contracts come TDL...

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Wow, I looked this up because I thought it was a joke...

Wow, there's only been hockey teams in Arizona called Roadrunners on and off for, like, half a century

I'm ok with the fact that I wasn't aware of that.

 

[Viqsi]

Given how badly the Monsters are doing, this is kind of bizarre.

 

[Deen]

Is he related to Rob Ramage?

Indeed he is. It's his son.

 

[caley]

Most likely this deal is because of the AHL limit on veteran players. Tucson probably had space for a vet and Cleveland is probably looking to play more of their younger d/men.

 

[Jay haller]

Chayka is a genius

Just when you start to get attached to a player...
