I think Hiller for Bernier is a great trade for both teams. I loved the proposal on our trade rumor thread that was taken from HF. Raymond and Hiller for Bernier and Grabner. The 2 for 2 swap is very enticing as both teams send out an expiring (Hiller $4.5M and Grabner 3.5M) and each take on a player with an extra year (Bernier $4.3M and Raymond $3.15M) flames take on the bigger cap commitment but all 4 players could benefit from a change of scenery.

I like it because it is a low cost move to get a goalie in his prime years with a short commitment. If the Flames go after a guy like Bishop this summer it is going to cost a lot. I think Bernier has the tools to be a solid goalie and worth the risk
