I guess it depends on how long the injury is. Would we sign a goalie, or just trade a team for one? That's of course if a Hiller/Ramo injury is long-term.

Greiss, Gustavsson, Emery, and maybe (although unlikely) Bryzgalov would be likely targets. Heck if the Sharks want to give us Niemi for practically free (if they find a replacement) else Treliving should get in on that.

You lose this thread!

Why would Minnesota need another goalie like Hiller? trackercowe was way off.

Except that he called Hiller a backup for Ramo. I would expect Hiller to play at least 40 games.

I think Hiller has a really good chance to win the starter job here, Ramo is going to have to build on his final quarter and take this as motivation. Lots of competition between these guys this year I am sure.

I just worry that Ortio will be backup if one of the two get injured, that's all I care about. Pretty sure Hartley would give Ortio some games, it will definitely just depend on how long the duration of the injury is if Hiller or Ramo get injured. I have a strong feeling they won't, given that those two might split 50/50 on games, or at least close to that.
