This seems like the likely case. Passing Street through waivers now means a quicker reaction time to swap him out for Ortio if Ramo isn't good to at least back up next game. Or, as you said, send Street down to bolster the Heat's lineup during the break.
In regards to waiver eligibility, capgeek is a great tool to take the confusion out of it.

Ortio is exempt through all of next season, or 72 NHL games played (whichever comes first).
