Hiller's style worries me with this team. He drops low and blocks pucks, whereas Ortio tries to smother/no rebound.
Hiller is more consistent than Ramo, but I feel like Hiller's predictability is what brought on trouble in the playoffs - teams worked him out, and he was chased. The Flames, even with the addition of Hamilton, are usually outmatched in size on the back end, so giving up rebounds is a risk, since you can't muscle guys away. Ramo will let in the odd softy more than Hiller does, but then he will go lights out.
All of this makes me think Ortio is going to be #1 by the end of the season - he is the best fit back there for the team.
Going with Ramo - Ortio more because I feel Hiller is easier to trade (salary retained). I would be happy so long as Ortio starts as #1B and works his way up
