The Hiller signing has always had me perplexed from day 1. Ramo was coming off a pretty decent season where he had taken the job from Berra. I thought he he'd be handed the reigns to see what he could do with given it was a complete rebuild. Out of nowhere, Burke goes an signs his old buddy from Anaheim to a pretty hefty contract that the Ducks flat out said they couldn't win a cup with and needed to move on from.
That said, this season is done. They might as well roll Hiller out their every night now. Increases our chances at a top 5 pick. This year Hiller is the biggest stack of garbage i've seen in the NHL in probably a decade. He lets in at least 2 suspect goals a game, his rebound control is garbage, and the team plays ten times better when he isn't starting. Our defence isn't good this year, but they play scared every time Hartley starts Hiller because they know every mistake they make has a good chance of finding the back of the net. I honestly don't know how anyone can defend this guy anymore. He should retire mid-season he's so bad.
