Maybe it shouldn't surprise me, but it caught me a little off guard when he said that. I was fully expecting Ortio to spend the year in Finland, but I'm not going to complain. I'll love watching an Ortio/Brossoit tandem if that's how they want to go. I personally don't like that idea because to have success in the AHL, you need a veteran goalie as a backup at least.
I think the goalie situation is easily the most interesting thing about this team come training camp. I'm looking forward to it.
