Agreed. It's kind of a chicken or egg thing I guess.
I still maintain that signing Ramo was a big mistake, not a long term one thank god but one that is a significant contributor to a terrible start which may lead to a terrible year (though I don't think this will be the case).
There's plenty of 1B goalies with NHL experience they could have quickly signed if Hiller got hurt.
Let me put it a different way. The mistake wasn't in signing Ramo per se, I favour Hiller slightly but also don't mind Ramo. It was retaining both Hiller and Ramo to start the year when they knew they couldn't waive Ortio. I understand Tre likely was trying to trade Hiller but it's still a big mistake.
