I would doubt they claim Ortio and send Hellebuyck back down. Honestly, he looks NHL ready.
Also, Winnipeg seems overstocked with good young goaltenders (Hutchinson, Hellebuyck, Comrie isn't heavily tested but is looking good). Adding Ortio to that mix would create the same problem as in Calgary unless they opt to ship out Pavelec or they don't plan to keep Ortio after the year.
