Bringing back Ramo? That's not what I would call "fixing" the goaltending situation. His game was starting to fall back to his norm before he got injured and IMO he's as big of a problem as Hiller is in that he's not good enough. There's no doubt Hiller has looked worse but the fact is the Flames are 8-6-1 in games he starts while they are 17-18-1 in games Ramo starts. I'm not saying Hiller has been better but more that Ramo hasn't been getting it done either. Ramo isn't a stop gap, he's a failure.

I will leave the solution here to Treliving because only he knows what's truly available to the Flames through trade and such but bringing back any of these goaltenders absolutely cannot be an option if this team wants to move forward.
