That being said it is what it is now and I just hope its resolved sooner than later. Really want to see Ortio in some starts.
Also not crazy about someone getting waived and take starts from Gillies.

The reason they re-signed Ramo is that Ortio was terrible in each of the first two months of the last two years. In October and the first week and a half of November last year he gave up 5 or 6 goals each game. The year before he started in the ECHL because he was that bad.
You can't have a goalie that plays that badly at the start and you won't know if he'll stop that until you get there. Having Ramo eliminated that problem. Now the Flames have the problem of too many guys, but it is a far better problem to have.
