I think if Lehner is traded for the Flames go really young with their tandem next season which I am not opposed to

I'm not so sure about that. Again, at that time of the season there are 29 other teams trying to get their own guys thru waivers. If the Flames who are mediocre in goal are waiving a guy...is he really that good that someone else is going to grab him and waive the guy they have that they know?
There's only so many roster spots in the NHL for goaltenders. If Ortio doesn't win a job at camp against a Lehner and Hiller, than you likely can get him to the AHL at that time.
