I believe there is a greater than 90% chance that Ortio would get claimed which would be a real shame as he has proven to be an excellent draft choice with very good potential. I would feel very comfortable with Ramo and Ortio. I will never forget the wonderfull goaltending he supplied in game 6 against Vancouver. He gave us our first playoff series victory in many years along with of course a great effort from all of his team mates. If Hiller was left in goal that game after allowing 3 goals in 10 minutes not a chance we would have clinched the series.

The only reason Hiller doesn't get claimed over the other two is his salary. Your opinion as to ability is (a) yours and (b) probably not that of the pro scouts around the league. I'd bet a substantial amount he's rated higher on other teams' charts than Ramo. Hiller's stats are better, he has way more experience, he's been an All-Star, he has more of a rep as a playoff goalie and the age difference is not great.
