I think having him as insurance is a prudent move. If the Flames sign Reimer for sake of argument and are planning on having him and Ortio as the tandem, allowing Backstrom to compete as well would help in case Ortio struggles again to start the year.

Ya because we saw how well 3 goalie tandems worked this season...
You simply can't go into the season with these kinds of question marks in goal. This is the most important position and we need to either have a solid option or the management needs to be confident in the 2 goalies they've brought in.
3 goalies fighting for 2 jobs is unnecessary pressure to add at the start of the season when everyone is still trying to find their form.
