I think an Ortio-Gillies tandem may be one of the solutions, unless Hiller will sign for less than $2.5M. If the team is looking like a contender, but goaltending is a concern, then perhaps they take a look at someone like Lehtonen or Niemi mid season; I'm sure Dallas doesn't want to keep paying $10M+ for goalltending for the next three years. Maybe Brian Elliott, Darcy Kuemper, Pavelec, etc. could be other options.
