Seems weird to me that we put forth such a no-name team, to turn around and dress a mainly NHL roster.
Hiller gets stacked defense
Ortio gets AHL defense
How is that fair?

because Hiller is a known quantity, and if he is to be traded, his value needs to be protected.
Ortio needed to prove himself. He played great and put the ball back in Treliving's court. A stinker and he would have been promptly placed on waivers to "sneak" him down
