My thoughts:

1. Trade one of Ramo/Hiller for a non-goalie, depending on whoever has more trade value. This is why there is a constant flip flop. You essentially have to give the other team the choice of the two. If Ramo is cold, Hiller is gone. If Hiller is cold, the other team might grab Ramo. Or maybe they grab the guy based purely on preference regardless of play as at trade date. It's purely based on the opposing team.

1A. Waive either of Hiller and Ramo, I really don't think they make it to the AHL. We'd easily get something for them even if it's a low pick, but Burke we know won't sell players for cheap for no reason. I doubt this happens.

2. Trade one of Ramo/Hiller with one of Ortio/Gilles for a bonafide starter. We'd have to add heavily for sure, but IMO the possibility exists we could see a goalie juggling that exceeds Ramo/Hiller.
