Not sure what Ortio's options are going to be in the offseason. If the Flames keep him in the fold he's likely destined for Stockton to back up Gillies. That's something he probably wants no part of and maybe it's possible he gets claimed off waivers or maybe he packs his bags and heads home. It's possible if there's a coaching change he may stand a better chance to compete for a backup spot but I think Hartley will get one more chance with different goaltending options.
