It would take a small miracle for Ortio to beat out Hiller for a spot. If or when Ortio becomes an NHL regular, it will probably be as a back-up or 1B at best.

And I can't envision a scenario where Treliving gives up a 2nd rounder or two on draft day for Talbot and doesn't give him the benefit of the doubt going into the season. He would be pretty much writing his ticket out of town to give up those assets only to lose Talbot on waivers or see him go the minors.
