Yep the single most important position will have to be addressed. With Price/Schneider/Lundqvist/etc we'd be in a playoff spot. Too soon to turn it over to Gillies although maybe in 1-2 years if everything goes well?
Goalies aren't terribly hard to find if you scout them well. I'm not convinced Ramo is the answer although maybe he can be one of our two guys. I think Ramo is a below average starter. Hiller has to go, he's not the answer. Ortio doesn't seem ready even though he seems to think he is.
Here's hoping our scouts find a hidden gem in Europe or the AHL or we capitalize on somebody's excessive goalie depth.
