We will see.
Also, it was a good idea to bring Ramo back because Ortio was terrible until mid November each of the last two seasons. If he did that again and you don't have Ramo back and Hiller has any struggles whatsoever, that could end your playoff hopes right there. I'd rather deal with the three headed monster than potentially missing the playoffs because of something that was preventable. Ortio came into camp and played well, which is both something new and something great. Having too many good players is an excellent problem to have.

This was an excellent problem to have in the offseason.
Now its going to become an issue and Ortio will be the one to pay for it because apparently he's #3 and will be riding pine and getting nice and cold.
If it were an excellent problem to have you'd see it everywhere instead you don't see such a thing.
When you do it tends to end up bad and the very guy you want to keep ends up getting dealt... look at the Canucks with Luongo, Schneider and Lack or the Sens with Andersen, Lehner and Hammond.
People don't want Hiller, someone would easily snag Ortio however.
It's not a good problem to have anymore and it will soon get ugly IMO unless they have a deal lined up to surprise us here
