Then the Flames just signed Ramo, not to a so much as show me, win a job at camp deal but a 3.8 M deal.
3.8M is the 27th highest goalie cap hit in the NHL That makes it #1 goalie money. Hillier at 4.5 is the 19th highest cap in the NHL. The Flames management have identified and signed 2 #1 goalies (by salary level) and you are basically calling them out as stupid as Ortio who they have been watching every game and practice of his career is somehow obviously superior. This is despite his rather middle of the road AHL numbers of the last season and his 15 game .899 NHL save percentage.
What did they miss that you have such a greater insight?
What team is so desperate for a goalie that they would be willing to commit one of their 2/3 goalie spots and 600k cap space for the full year to Ortio at waiver time?
Ortio does have some competition. Gillies is the front runner to be #1 at Stockton.

Jeez, should I have developed some sort of index to base my opinions?
Just so we are clear. I believe Ortio will win the job by Novemeber. OOooooo so full of myself. I also believe that the statistically better goalie with more reliable experience to lean on between Hiller and Ramo will keep their job with the Flames....Oooooooo so cocky....so brazen...
