I also have confidence that both Ramo and Hiller will go on some streaks like they did earlier.

Eh, if Ortio plays well enough we just leave Ramo in Phoenix and keep going on. Phoenix is desperate for a good goalie right now and Ramo would fit the bill.
(And yes, I do mean this semi-seriously. Maloney has been told to dump salary and Ramo is a UFA at the end of the year. He's a longer term rental, but it's needed as Smith is playing terrible, Dubnyk was holding up the team and they have recalled an ECHL goalie to back up Smith because one of the AHL ones had season ending surgery and the other is too green. They have goaltending problems, Ramo could solve some of them and we could probably fetch one of their young D-men for him)
