Funny how things can change.
When Hiller was signed it looked like one of those "nobody else will let me start so I'll go there, play well and get dealt to a team bound for the playoffs" type of decision.
Now the Flames are in an odd pickle where he's good, and the more experienced guy so there's risk in moving him when the rest of the team looks playoff ready. Yet it's smart to move him if you look at the age of the core and remembering that they are still rebuilding.
Do you stop rebuilding if you make the playoffs in back to back years?
