If Ramo was healthy I think you could move him. But not Hiller.

San Jose's two AHL goalies haven't been very good this season, neither has Stalock. Arizona's AHL goalies (other than Domingue) haven't been very good this season.
If you're looking to shore up your backup position for the playoffs but don't want to make a long-term commitment, Hiller and Ward are two veterans will playoff wins under their belts whose contracts expire this summer. Beyond those two, there aren't a lot of other options.
Hiller's stats this season are very close to Stalock's, but he has a better playoff history. I could see Wilson being willing to give up a mid/late round pick to swap Hiller for Stalock.
