At least with Hiller they can ride for one more season and look to upgrade via trade or sign another goaltender next offseason which is what I expect they are looking to do.

Thing is, if Ortio moves above them during the year, what is wrong with having one of them as the backup for a couple years? You're probably not going to find much better in the way of goalies that can give you a solid 30 games.
We do need two, and if Ortio ends up being the #1, we could do a lot worse than one of Ramo/Hiller as the back up.
