If Treliving thought it was reasonable that Ortio gets claimed, Ortio probably wouldn't be on waivers. He knows it is a risk (as it was with Paul Byron), but I think Treliving believes Ortio clears. Otherwise, he would probably have gone the conditioning stint route first

You have to imagine they test the waters to see if a team wants to claim. I get that team's could lie, but I imagine GM's don't like burning bridges over waivor claims. Usually why you see a guy who was going to be waived traded for a conditional pick, etc.
Again, why would another team want a goalie the team with the worst GA deems to be the worst of their 3 goalies, and who has never proven anything at an NHL level.
We vastly overate Ortio. Most teams have their own Ortio's in the minors right now
