Ortio at 75 percent (a reasonable guess based on him saying that he was sore earlier in the week and his performance on Saturday) is a better option than Thiessen, but I'm not sure that he's a better option than a healthy Gillies. I'd sign him to an NHL contract and give Ortio a few AHL games, then reassess the situation after Adirondack's season ends.
