In fact, Ortio may want to play less than 7 games - I understand if he plays more than that he's an RFA, but less than that and he's a UFA.
Now, if the Flames don't care, then it doesn't matter, but if they at least want to control him and have the ability to move him for, say, a 6th rounder, they should get him his minimum games.
