Joni Ortio was downright dominant in his stretch of games this season. He could be The Man this season.
My only worry with him is his consistency. He seems to be the kind of player who needs to know he has the coaches' and management's support. If he loses any confidence at all he goes through some serious meltdowns. Recently he's shown a lot to prove he may be growing out of that trait. Hopefully Hartley has clocked the issue and knows how to get the best out of Ortio.
If Ramo isn't coming back then I say hand the reins to Ortio, with Hiller as a frequently-used backup and Gillies down in Stockton to backstop the run to the Calder Cup.
I have a gut feeling Gillies is going to be The Man in a year or two. If Ortio is managed correctly then they could form a deadly 1A/1B stable of goalies.
