In any event, I always liked Ortio, and am glad to see him having some success.

Ortio's team is also 19th (out of 25 teams) in GA and in the bottom half of GF. His numbers are also similar to Mikko Koskinen's numbers two years ago, and Koskinen is NHL caliber.
If he's willing to come back and none of the youngin's step up, I wouldn't mind seeing Ortio given a try at backup once Mike Smith is gone.
