When one factors in the slightly better collection of defensemen in front of him this year, and the step ahead this year he receives from not having the same adjustment period he had in the first 5–8 weeks from last season, then I would argue that chances are very good that he will be even better.
There should be no question that the Flames will be better in goal this season.

I agree that its a good bet that the Flames will be better in goal this year with the Hiller/Ramo tandem.
But I still think it could go either way. The list of NHL goalies that had a decent half season is 8 miles long.
So I would say, looks better, but it's still a big question mark.
