I think he clears, but if he doesn't what a waste. To make the investment in his development over the past number of years and lose him while still under control. And for what, Hiller and Ramo?
If we lose Ortio, Gilles and MacDonald best fast track their development because we will be left with a gaping hole of ready goaltender prospects. And, we will be back to the "best goaltender not playing in the NHL" and whose back-up might be our starter conversations.
