I guess what it comes down to is that Ortio has one thing the other two don't. Potential. And measuring that is very subjective.

Useless stats? I suggest you look at the Line-up Ortio shutout in Colorado. He shutout Colorado's A team with Calgary's C team.
Potential? You mean age. He has youth on his side and we are a young rebuilding team. One playoff appearance doesn't change that. I'm sorry if you can't see what a big deal it is that he has his best years in front of him instead of behind him.
