Sucks about the injuries. It would have been nice for Granlund to finish the season here and get more comfortable with NHL play.
And I'm pretty happy with Ortio. For a rebuild, you can't ask much more from a young goalie if he's really only giving up point blank tips and jammed in goals. I think that brings much more confidence to the players in front when they know that giving him a clear sight-line is enough. They would do that with Berra and Ramo, but they'd give up the (almost too regular) stinker which really deflates a team imo.
