So long as the Flames are not performing a disservice to Ortio and Backstrom in the process, then no, this decision is not in any way "foolish." What is foolish is to think that Flames management have this same myopic view of things. What is foolish is to insist that this decision is somehow an egregious and irreparable slight to Ortio that will destroy his confidence and future.
Hiller still has a contract to practice, dress and play. I will reiterate: Providing starts for Hiller costs the Flames ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and yet it could very well make a big difference for him in the summer.
