I'd be happier with giving Dubnyk 3yrs @ 6.0m, versus trading the 52nd overall pick for Eddie Lack.

Id rather give Hiller another year or 2 at his current salary than give Dubnyk what he's looking for (5x5, which someone might throw him at UFA). Despite his great 1/2 season, I would say they are about the same as far as "game saving" ability and we know Hiller, has a good rapport with the team and is a better age range to allow Ortio and Gillies develop into a tandem going forward.
Honestly, I really don't see the use in moving assets for goaltenders who aren't much better, if at all, than what we already have. I think what this situation is showing is that most teams have a backup with good potential and there are new guys like this that hit the market every year. If we need a stop gap if Ortio isn't ready, we can deal with it at the time IMO.
