Yes both looked like respectable NHL goalies during their best stretches. And both had stretches where they clearly belonged in the AHL. In Ortio's case, make that ECHL.

I'd say Ortio has had one bad stretch and outside of that has been phenomenal for both this team and the farm team. How quickly we forget he was an all star just last season. One bad stretch that was brought on by playing behind a team that was playing the worst I've ever seen a team play in the NHL. Do you know how much of a shock to your confidence it would be when you thought you were getting "your shot" and you play behind that tire fire? I'm not surprised it derailed his season. Since he's been back he's been playing like the AHL all star he was last year and people seem to just ignore it since he had 3 bad games in October.
Sign someone like Reimer or Ramo and roll with Ortio.
