I too have thought for a while that Cam Ward would end up here. But at this point, I don't see how it would work. You'd have to get rid of both Ramo and Hiller. And highly questionable that Ward is an upgrade on either although I think you'll find some people that believe he is.

I am quite perplexed by the goalie situation. Ortio did not play his way on the team, or else he would not be the declared #3. If they had no intention of exposing him to waivers, that's something BT would have known back in July when he signed Ramo.

So its back to "he thought he had a deal for Hiller in place". I don't buy that one for a few reasons. I hope not.

I am starting to come around to the idea that Ortio gets moved for a pick. Frankly I would take a 2nd rounder for any goalie in this organization not names Gillies.
