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.

I'm not sure. I don't think the three Goalie thing affected the team. Bad goaltending was the problem whether we had 1 or 30 goalies. Defensive lapses and inability to get shots off are certainly concerning too.
The only thing having the extra Goalie affects is losing a roster spot, and its too early for that to have been a problem
