Just for comparisons sake for those who might not be familiar with Ortio's stellar play this year for the Heat, lets put him up against a 'top prospect':

John 'golden child' Gibson: 31 GP - 10-14-4, 0.920 save %, 2.40 GAA

Joni 'work horse' Ortio: 25 GP - 19-5-0, 0.930 save %, 2.08 GAA

People will argue that one goalie has a better team in front of him, but if I remember correctly, the Heat were struggling big time before Ortio stepped in and gave them numerous solid performances for them to build on. I might be remembering that wrong though if someone from the farm team board can confirm please.
