Who knows if Ortio's going to pan out... hell who knows if Gilles is going to pan out. I just think we should be exploring another goalie who could end up a long term option.
- Condon would be a good pickup but the Habs likely hang on to him. Tokarski's probably available but not sure he's all that better than what we have.
- Vasilevskiy would be a decent grab but as mentioned above Tampa's in cap trouble and he may be the guy they run with in the next few years
- Stalock or Gibson would be decent options but usually you don't see goalie swaps within a division (because of what can happen ie: Kipper)
- I'd target Rantaa myself, Lunqvist will be the starter there still for likely 4-5 years. Asking price would be high though I think. Not sure the Rangers would want our vets either. Maybe something centered around Hudler going the other way? Obviously there'd need to be other pieces involved.

Linus Ullmark has also looked very good in a few limited starts for Buffalo.

Perhaps he would become available when Lehner returns from injury?
