I tend to agree but then again I'm not so sure they may be looking around the league to see if teams are secure with their situations to the point they can sneak him down. Markstrom is a bigger name than Ortio and he passed through waivers last year and we don't really know just how highly the rest of the league thinks Ortio.
Hartley isn't going to slot him ahead of Hiller and Ramo unless in his eyes he's been better so if that doesn't happen what do you do with him as they were discussing on 960 this morning that they don't want to carry three goaltenders. Something has to give here and I don't know what the market is going to be early in the season to trade one of Hiller or Ramo. I really like everything that Treliving has done but signing Ramo in the offseason is a bit of a head scratcher.
