BREAKING: Trade speculations for the Flames

With Robin Lehner's injury in Buffalo, there are a lot of trade rumors sending Flames goalie Jonas Hiller to the Sabres. Calgary has 3 goalies with a one-way contract and this situation should not last as they can get a good trade for one of them.

It would be very risky to waive Joni Ortio and Karri Ramo just re-signed with the team. The expectations are way higher this year and it looks like Hiller is the one that could be traded since Ramo seems to be the #1 goalie in Calgary. Hiller hits 4,5M$ per year and is scheduled to become unrestricted agent next summer.

According to Wes Gilbertson from Calgary Sun, Jonas Hiller was still motivated mid-september. “I’ve stopped worrying about it a long time ago because at the end, all I can do is just come in and play as well as I can,” Hiller said “That’s what I did in the summer — prepare myself that I’ll be able to play at the same level as last year or even better. There is always competition, and having three guys on one-ways is certainly not an easy thing. You have to probably work even harder, but I’m not worried. I know what I’m capable of and I just have to be able to show it".
