Ramo has less than 100 NHL games under his belt. Hiller over 300. Hiller also has a better save percentage, and GAA. I really don't get why people want to keep Ramo over Hiller.
Doesn't anyone see the issue where Edmonton doesn't have a proven #1 starter? Hiller is a proven NHL starter. He isn't Henrik Lundqvist, no doubt, but he can haul the mail if need be. No one knows for sure if Ramo can, and it isn't worth the risk IMO. Hiller isn't breaking the bank, and we don't have any cap issues. I will say if it wasn't for Hiller's exceptional play at the beginning of the season we wouldn't be far off Edmonton's pace.
Ramo should without a doubt should be the trade bait.
