Hiller had six 20+ win winning seasons (including one for CGY), played over 400 games with 197 wins. I think that makes him a legit starter. His first season in CGY was not a disaster - 52 GP, 26-19-4, 2.36 GAA, .918 SV% (anyone here interested with having a goalie with a .918 SV%?)
As I said waaayy earlier - goalies are a crapshoot. I just think the Flames need someone else throwing the dice for a bit.

Hiller's historic performance has little relevance
All players, including goalies, reach an age where they no longer perform at a high level.
To me it seems far more likely that - that's exactly what happened with Hiller, not that somehow he was ruined by Sigalet.
