Probably. I was just thinking that if Ortio were given another shot and all of a sudden went on to put on the kind of goaltending clinic he showed during his brief stint last year, that would complicate matters even further. Hence he's kept off the ice while Treliving muster up the courage to put him through waivers. It's a pretty cynical way of looking at it I guess, and it may hold no merit at all. Perhaps he's just still not ready and everyone knows it.
