To me, I get it that he doesn't want to mortgage the future for a win-now goalie, but that was betting that Ramo and Hiller would play as well as they did last year, which did not seem unreasonable to me. Instead, both guys are not giving anywhere near the same goaltending.... so here we are.

I had interest in Lehner but not at the price Buffalo paid. I wanted nothing to do with Talbot at the rumored price or what Edmonton paid. I wouldn't have minded Lack at what the Canes paid but doubtful Vancouver trades him in the division.
I know Brad tried and signed Ramo as backup but his plan has failed. I hope he is able to get a new goalie similar to what the Wild did last year as I do not see the team being successful with the current group. I also don't care too much if Ortio is traded or waived to make this deal happen. The future in net is Gillies who is still 2-3 years away
