So now the ideal situation for the Flames would be:
- Tandem of Hiller/Ramo until the deadline. Hope one becomes tradeable by the deadline.
- Ortio gets all the AHL starts and builds confidence while Gillies is out.
- Trade one of Ramo/Hiller for a 4th round pick at the deadline.
- Call-up Ortio to be a solid 1b goaltender. Gillies back to being the AHL starter.
- Only re-sign one of Hiller/Ramo to a 1 year contract. Sign Ortio and tell him he's made it.
One can dream, right?
