I don't think anyone doubts Ortio is staying in the NHL. I think the argument is whether or not he has the talent to be a starter or backup.

The thing with most goalies, is you don't really know what you have until they are 26 or older. He's only 24 and showing flashes. I think he'll be a starter one day. Hopefully with the Flames. Until that time though, I hope the Flames snag Bishop to hold the fort down for 2-3 years.
