I agree with waiting for the right guy but they still need to have someone in net and if they want the team to have even a little better success, they need to upgrade on those two guys.

Hiller is not coming back. To me it seems possible that Rämö will be one of the goalies next season but they'll definitely have to bring in someone from outside the organisation.
It doesn't sound like there's anyone great available right now. So maybe someone with possible potential will be signed on a short deal, keeping the options open for acquiring a real starter.
It's a mediocre team. Half of the forwards need to be replaced before they're a contender. That'll take time and probably another high pick. Goaltending would give forward momentum but I don't like the idea of committing to anyone long term right now unless he's really going to be good.
