Would you trade the other way? If I only had one of them in my system I would keep the one I had because I would know them better.
I'm not sure what Gilles has done to separate himself from other college prospects. He played on a highly defensive low scoring team that probably inflated his numbers.
I think in one year we will see much more clearly who is the better prospect is. Ortio will have a year as nhl backup and Gilles a year of AHL starter.
I would argue upside for each is the same. Ortio is closer to achieving that upside and has lower floor.
