I think the only goalie that has any trade value is Ortio (yes, even if they retained 50% salary on Hiller or Ramo). I like the guy, but if Treliving wants to trade his way out of this three-goalie mess, it'll probably have to be Ortio.
Of course in hindsight, the best thing to do would have been to let Ramo go to free agency. As the old saying goes, Treliving made the bed, now he has to sleep in it.
On the bright side, Ortio should provide a decent return, and we do have a couple of other good goalies coming up through the pipeline. I think Gillies provides the best shot at a true #1 anyway.
