Backstrom will probably sign a 1 day contract and retire with the Wild. Hiller is gone to Europe. I think we should resign Ramo to a 1 year contract, I like him as the backup a lot better than Ortio. One thing I read is that Elliot has never played more than 45 games in a season, so he still has something to prove as a starter, although I feel he has been a victim of situation (always competing, never given #1 job) so I am not worried about him. Ramo has proven that he can play good for 10-15 game stretches. Ortio has had flashes of brilliance but at this point I feel like the flames, and fans are more or less holding on to the "he is young and still developing into a star" mantra rather than seeing him for what he is. I don't like Ortio. I can't be more happy and relieved that the flames finally have a true #1 goalie, it seems like its been forever since we have had stability at that position.
Also what about Tkachuk! Cant believe we got him and so happy about that. Future looks pretty bright. Treliving is an allstar.
