And I can only imagine he simply did not look good in practice this year. Much of that is on the player for sure.
But Flames have a pair of high quality goalie prospects in the system. I hope they are looking hard at how they plan to develop them.

Why not? One of the teams outlined earlier with injuries to their goalies might view Ortio as a stopgap with potential. The same thing TB did with Poulin, only he's worse than Ortio. No reason a team like that to not take a chance especially when he could just be discarded like Poulin was once they don't need him. Or maybe he puts it all together for his new team and they get an asset for free? No risk, some utility, possible reward. Good chance he gets claimed IMO.
