Goalies either come in, play well, or they don't.

This isn't the end for Ortio in Calgary (probably) it just means he's being sent down, like Ramo was a month ago. If he clears he'll go to Stockton, play a bunch and hopefully continue to develop at the age of 24, young for a netminder. Could be back at some point this season, who knows.
Also I'd rather have Joni develop his game down in the AHL instead of sitting on the bench in Calgary. With Jon out long term it'll give him the chance to really run with a bunch of starts and get sharp again.
