Guess I'll move the goalie discussion over here. I hope Ramo is the one who's traded. Hiller has better numbers and is more of the proven NHL goalie. Ramo still could be a bit of an unknown if he had to take the bulk of this year's starts imo. But really I hope Ortio steals their jobs and becomes #1. Team Hiller!
I dont understand why they re-signed Ramo in the first place to be honest. Personally I think that's the biggest tell, is that they resigned Ramo and I think they'll try to move Hiller. Just wanted to wait until after training camp to make sure that there werent injuries to Ramo/Ortio or one of them didnt play like hot garbage.

Buffalo could take Hiller, Johnson is a career backup and Lehner has only 30 wins in the league.. Hiller could play the same role in rebuilding Buffalo as he did in Calgary
Yep another option for sure. There arent many teams that need goalies though, but for a guy on an expiring contract that has proven to be a decent goalie at the NHL level, I think it's realistic to expect they could move Hiller.
(I always hate that guy that's like "trade XXX or YYY" because making trades in the NHL is tough. But I think this is one that could get done)
