From what I've seen of Ortio in the world juniors a few years ago, I think he was a very decent goalie, with good lateral movement and positioning. However, at that time, I believe the knock on him was losing the puck in goal mouth scrambles, and doesn't react quickly enough to find and cover the puck.
If he worked on that in the Finnish league, and is able to find the puck in those kinds of crowds in front of him, then I think he could carve out a very nice career for himself.
