I'd say it's reasonable to assume that the value for either of Ramo or Hiller is likely a 3rd round pick. See Scrivens/Fasth/Bryzgalov/etc.

Assuming that value is correct, I vote to send down Ortio, and finish the season with Hiller + Ramo. Yes, we very well may lose Ramo in the summer for nothing, but a 3rd round pick at the deadline isn't enough value that you risk trading the wrong goaltender. IMO, neither of the 2 has proven themself to be better than the other, and so we should use these last 39 games to figure out who that is.

Ortio plays role of backup next season.
