The problem with Ortio's one way contract isn't the salary. It's the fact that he is now waiver eligible and would have to clear before being sent down. He would be claimed for sure if that happened. I would much rather see Ramo retained and Hiller traded, but is there a market for Hiller? We could ride the 3 headed goalie monster for a season or until a home (hopefully) is found for Hiller. Otherwise, we could just put Hiller on waivers. The way I see it, if we don't resign Ramo, we lose him for nothing. If Hiller gets claimed on waivers, we still lose a goalie for nothing but at least, IMO at least, we keep the younger and better goalie. The other option would be to keep Ortio in minors for the season, no NHL training camp, and hope he doesn't have to be called up until Hiller gets moved.

Hiller played some good hockey this year. I would think there is a market for him. We will all remember the last game he played but he also won us the series in Van.

We should definitely talk to Patty Roy to see if he has any interest.....oh wait...they have Berra....my bad.
