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.

Maybe but if a team has a veteran tandem why not scoop the 24 year old off waivers who has had impressive numbers 2 years in a row at the AHL level and played fairly well when called up to the big club?
If the Flames are paying quality assets to get Lehner and risk losing Ortio for free that is not the best asset management in my opinion
