I suspect there are many posters like me, who did not just happen to vote for whomever they feel is the best goaltender right now. We're not selecting players based on their positions, and it seems a bit silly to think that just because one selected a goalie in this round, he would select another goalie as an alternative. It's close, but I'm not sure that Gillies would be my next choice.

Yes, Ortio and maybe even Jankowski would have to be in a run off vote. Of course if you don't limit it at 2 then you could end up with a situation where the votes are all split again and you need another run off.
As I said, Reinhart would have been my next pick. Like Ortio I have seen him play for the Flames and know he has the potential to be an NHLer. Some voters might consider Reinhart having only 3rd line potential though and would take either goalie over him as both Ortio and Gillies have starter potential.
