10 goalies started 60+ games last year. 20 started 50+.
What/who the Flames need from the backup position depends a lot on Elliott's start number.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable penciling Ortio for 32 starts just yet.

Ramo last season started 37 games, went 17-18-1 2.63 .909
Ortio for his career has started 34 games, went 15-15-5 2.66 .901
I guess whether one thinks Ortio is backup capable depends on whether one thinks his career is on a downward trajectory, or whether he's still developing his potential.
I'll take a .500 back-up goalie for 32 or so starts for a contract well under $1M.
