Unfortunately, Hiller has looked like garbage so any teams that may have been suitors in September probably aren't now.
I agree though, I think the plan was to get one of Jones or Talbot. I think the Hiller trade falling through was the catalyst, but only with the hopes that he could be dealt part way through the season or towards the deadline for any team that got a subpar or injurious start from their starter. The irony of course is that's what happened with Calgary and Hiller.

Ramo is not a capable #1. It was a panic move, which turned out to be prudent because Hiller got hurt.
