I don't like it. I understand that Ortio wouldn't see any playing time in the AHL now with Karlsson's return, but I thought the idea was to ease Ortio into the NA game. Sending him back to Finland after a handful of starts spread out over 4 months doesn't make much sense to me. They could always have sent him to the ECHL where he would have seen a lot of minutes to get used to the NA rink and get his confidence back.
