The problem is, Ortio is still unproven. What if you trade one of your two NHL goalies, and Ortio turns out to not be ready?
I'm not clear on this though: Can Ortio be sent to the AHL directly from camp? Or does he need to be in the NHL straight from camp? I realize if he gets sent down during the season, he is subject to waivers.
PS: Add a poll to the thread.

He can be sent down at any time, and has to clear waivers regardless of when that is.
The issue on that front is that, at the beginning of the season, after camp, every team has to send guys down and typically no one has room for extra players. So virtually everyone clears.
Markstrom cleared last year. But I think Ortio might attract more attention. And there is also the Oilers factor - they could easily keep him up on their roster and they might be interested in grabbing him simply because its the Flames.
