If you can't trade Hiller by end of trade deadline, let the team roll with Hiller and see what'll pan out during the offseason. I think Ramo is fine for the team rebuild process. The team doesn't really need a top notch goalie to mask the effects of any defensive deficiencies like what Kipper did. With a good team rebuild, you want every single deficiency exposed and plug up the big holes first. Right now, the Flames have big holes defensively and not enough depth up front to win against the big and fast west coast teams in the south and teams like the Coyotes and even the Jets. Goaltending is the last of their worries.
