I think Hiller is seeing the writing on the wall. Ortio took his job again and I am sure he'll be back next season. Flames will make sure he gets his qualified # of games in order to stay RFA. Sucks to be Hiller. A few season ago, he was replaced by two rookies as a starter late in the season and in the playoffs. Then last season, Karri Ramo took his job. This season it looks like he will be the starter again especially after they put Ramo on waivers then ended up sending him to AHL. Hiller with his luck got injured and Karri Ramo took his job again and ran with it. Ramo got injured and in comes another Hiller chance to be starter only to be taken away by Joni Ortio in the last few games. Now he's got another competition with Backstrom. Never like the Hiller signing before especially the amount of money. Now I just can't wait for him to sign somewhere else next season. Flames will definitely have Ortio in the mix next season especially if he keeps up with his play. It could either be Ramo-Ortio tandem or Ortio and someone else. I would be ticked off if Treliving re-sign Hiller.
