I picked "Activate Ramo, and run with three goaltenders until Ortio loses ", but I would expand to be not until he loses per se, but until he comes back down to Earth. Obviously a 0.50 GAA and 98% save percentage is not going to be sustainable for long. I don't think it sends a good message to send Ortio down the minute he loses if he still plays great though.

I am apprehensive about trading one of Ramo or Hiller at this point though. I am optimistic about Ortio for the long term, but trading one of our goalies now would put us in a dangerous position if one of them was to be injured later on.

I would actually try to extend Ramo now and then wait until the offseason to trade either Ramo or Hiller.
