His reputation for signing ufas would have suffered immensely if he signed ufas only to trade them before the season even started. No gm would ever do that. So logically he had no plan to trade ramo.
Youre right though...very confusing why they waived ramo over hiller.

The Ramo signing was a re-signing not a UFA signing since he never hit free agency so I don't think it would impact signing UFAs. I think the only thing they promised him was the opportunity to win the starting position at camp. I'm sure he knew there was a chance he would be the odd man out so in return they gave them the money they did.
Think about it. It makes absolutely no sense to re-sign a goalie with the intention of making him your starter only to waive him.
