I predict that Ortio earns a spot in camp. He's really good. I bet he gets almost 40 starts this year.
Ramo and Hiller will both look like capable "1b" goalies again. Brad considers offers for either one, and eventually trades Hiller for 4th and 5th round picks with $500,000 salary retained.
Depending on the amount of injuries to Flames roster players (particularly forwards and goalies) during training camp, there may be room to keep all three until November. This might allow for better trade returns.
Brad will be patient.
