All 29 teams know they shouldn't help Treliving and the Flames land a goalie. Conroy said as much in an interview on 960 awhile ago.

Ramo was our best goaltender this season until he got injured. Not signing him wouldn't have made the goaltending any better, and then folks like you would just be saying "Why didn't Treliving sign Ramo?! He wanted to be here, and Ortio clearly wasn't ready, and Hiller is terrible!"
Point is, the players not performing is on them not the GM.
Also, I didn't say other teams should help BT land a goalie. I said he was trying to land a better younger goalie, and unload Hiller as well. Just because that plan failed doesn't mean it's BT's fault Hiller turned into hot garbage this season.
