I honestly thought they were going to give Ortio a chance to at least back up this year. I know Treliving believes you can't overripen prospects in the AHL, but Ortio probably has to wonder what he has to do to be given a chance.

Of course, goalies need a LOT of time to refine their game before getting a regular job. Just look at what Ramo did early on and how long it took him to become a decent goalie. In that sense, I guess it's ok to try this for one more season and see if Ortio can take a job away from one of these two.

Whatever happens this year, I wouldn't be shocked to see one of Ramo or Hiller traded during the season since both contracts are up at the end of the year. I have a suspicion this goaltending situation is far from being settled.
