Confirmed with Link: Flames sign Joni Ortio to a two-year deal

If Ramo holds his own, even if Hiller plays better, I can see Hiller getting moved at some point. If Pittdburgh wants a change from Fleury, who is in the final year of his deal, that could be a possibility. Even a team like the Blues, if Allen struggles, they might look at an upgrade, and Hiller has an extremely manageable deal

That's the first thing I thought of when Hiller was signed onto the Flames on July 1. I have a feeling there is a very low chance he is the goalie we will be riding when we are competitive (hopefully) in the next few years. When I saw it was a short term, fair money deal I was more excited about the asset rather than the actual player. I really hope he can personally play well to give us the option of signing him or trading him for something worth value.
