While I'd rather go with the Ramo/Ortio combo, I think Hiller gets crapped on too much around here for his play. Does he let in soft goals? Yes. And it's especially annoying when it's at the start of a game. But the guy posted a 2.36 GAA and .918 s%. That's pretty damn good and much better then I expected when he was signed. When a goalie posts anything above .920 s%, you could probably consider him having an elite or close to it type season.

Hiller's s% over his career is also very good

.927
.919
.918
.924
.910
.913
.911
.918

NHL total .917

Am I the only person who thinks he's pretty darn good? Have a look at his career stats.

Hiller has his own style and isn't going to razzle dazzle you with his athleticism. I find him to be a goalie who slowly gets better as the game goes on. Did he steal many games for us? Not as many as Kipper did, but more then he gets credit for. How many big stops did he make in the 3rd period or OT last season? He was a big reason why we made the playoffs last season.

Ignoring his name and just looking at his career stats, absolutely there will be a taker for him when it comes time to trade someone.
