None of this makes any sense. The Flames aren't on the verge of winning a cup. This nonsense of trading multiple draft picks or signing UFA goaltenders to long term deals IMO is ludicrous as the team is in a good position with one more affordable year on Hiller and should simply keep their picks/prospects and go into next season with Hiller and Ortio. I don't see things being any worse than last season which was good enough to make the playoffs with. If Ortio turns into the real deal then they can cast aside Hiller and move on with Ortio and a placeholder backup in 2016.
