Actually, it's possible. A lot of waiver-eligible goalies get sent down to the minors every October, and it's not that often that they get claimed. It's a numbers game, really.
My own preference (at the moment) would be for the Flames to re-sign Ramo, and let the three goalies battle it out for the two jobs. If Ramo or Hiller loses out, you trade him for what you can get; if Ortio loses, you send him down. The only way you lose him is if (a) at least one team thinks your third-string goalie is better than their backup, (b) that team is willing to waive their own guy, and (c) your third-stringer is better than all the other goalies on waivers. The odds are actually quite good that you won't lose him.
