If Ortio can become an average starting goalie. Awesome. If he becomes a capable backup, I'm just fine with that.

Ortio can become an above average starting goalie, his ceiling is extremely underrated due to the slow starts he tends to have (Which is something even guys like Rask have had). The way he's playing right now, is not even "hot" Ortio, it's just steady Ortio, but he has another gear in him. Over the course of a season, steady Ortio with streaks of hot Ortio would be a bonafide starter, not unlike another guy who was .906 in 15 games last season behind a top defensive team as a 24 year old, and is a .918 in 58 games this season as a 25 year old.....................
