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?

I don't think the difference between Ramo and Hiller is big enough that you can say we are rebuilding with one or going for it with the other. In all honesty, neither of them are likely to be with the team at it's peak. We're probably looking at Gillies and Ortio, possibly MacDonald, going forward.
