Ortio looked pretty comfortable in his 6 games. But I'm not too worried about results for next year - it's still a rebuilding year and at some point Ortio or Gillies are going to have to take the next big step. Gillies needs lots of games and he won't get them if Ortio is in Stockton.
I don't see any way Ortio doesn't start the season in Calgary. And the starter will be Hiller unless Treliving makes a great deal for someone (I don't see an overpayment in the works).
