One of the biggest surprises of 2014-15. Turned heads in the pre-season and started the year in the AHL with Adirondack. But when the team was hit with some early injuries, it opened the door for Jooris and he eventually earned himself his first NHL contract. Undrafted and often considered undersized, the former Union College centreman contributed 12 goals and 12 assists in 60 games. A flexible fit either on the wing or at centre, the 24-year-old is only going to improve and could be an inexpensive way to round out the team’s depth while they still groom their youngsters like Emile Poirier and Morgan Klimchuk.

The Finn with ice in his veins was impressive in the post-season in relief of Jonas Hiller. His 44-save performance in Game 5 was his best performance. But re-signing Ramo poses an interesting dilemma. With Joni Ortio’s contract going from a two-way to a one-way contract, that leaves the door open for a few scenarios. One being that Brad Treliving can re-sign trustworthy Ramo, move Hiller in the off-season, and Ortio is your backup or 1A/B goalie. That’s providing that a team is interested in picking up Hiller’s contract. He might not win a Vezina Trophy in his lifetime, but he can certainly win you a few games if you need him to.
