He better be the real deal if this happens. You are pretty much saying good bye to Gilles with that kind of commitment.
This is the reason why I wouldn't mind giving Reimer a try first and see how he does. I think a Reimer / Ortio tandem would be ok for next year. And then you re-evaluate after next year, when hopefully the expansion draft means there will be a glut of goalie choices the Flames can explore without needing to give up an arm and a leg.
