Originally I preferred to have Ortio stay in Abbotsford and have a full season as a starter down there. But with them deciding to bring him up with the trade/injury I think I would prefer to keep him here and have him play about 75% of the games with Ramo getting 25%.
While Ramo never got to be the full time starter we have seen a lot of him already and he hasn't shown much to indicate he can be anything more than a back-up. I think since he is here already might as well try to get a sense if Ortio is ready for the NHL and maybe even if he is ready or projects to be a starter or if he is just another band-aid to fill in during the rebuild.
