The team needs two goaltenders, and management probably feels that Ortio is not quite ready for the NHL full time—he is still very young, as goaltenders go.
Furthermore, regardless of what you or I or any other fan thinks is the right way to follow the course of action set for this team, management has been very clear that they intend to ice a competitive team that plays to win. Hiller helps the Flames to compete and to win.
