[QUOTE=Bandwagon In Flames;5456710]Save percentage is a stat, and it's all the more impressive in context.
My main point is that Ortio has done nothing to warrant any doubt in his abilities. He had a strong pre-season, a strong NHL showing last season and has been dominant in the AHL for 2 seasons.

I agree with your first point. Save percentage is a relevant stat. Both Hiller and Ramo had better save percentages in the NHL last season than Ortio had in the AHL. Ortio's AHL save percentages was in the upper middle of the pack for goalies.
As for your second point, maybe we have different definitions of dominant. I think you are implying that because he vastly outplayed the backup in Adirondack, he was dominant. I don't see it that way. Admittedly, I didn't see Ortio play a single game for Adirondack. His NHL starts were hot and cold, and on the whole his results were OK.
I do agree the guy has potential and would love to see the Flames get something of value for Ramo. IDK if that will happen.
