You're right that he didn't show anything in the last game or two, but judging by how he was used (fourth line role, no PP time at all) and by the fact that he stayed in Calgary while most of the kids played two games elsewhere, the coaches had already decided he'd get past the first cut and were looking more at other players.
Byron on the other hand didn't receive a very long look for a guy that Feaster thought was close to the NHL in previous seasons.
Not surprised by the decision to cut Ortio, given that they have three older goalies two of whom need to get used to the ice, but as a competitive guy he has to feel bad about not getting more than 30 minutes of proper preseason action. I think he could outplay the other two Euros if everything was equal. Probably more talented than Rämö, but of course experience counts for a lot.
