What's the point in giving a player right of refusal if they aren't allowed to use it? He earned the right to stay with the big club when they gave him the one-way. Ortio made the right move and frankly it helps the Flames when Ortio exerts his rights. There was no quick fix, nor any point in simply delaying the inevitable another two weeks.
Ortio was wise to keep his career moving, instead of letting the Flames managements indecision hold him in limbo any longer.
