Gillies is probably worth a late first round pick, and Ortio has small enough value that we could send him down on waivers (and possibly not lose him).
Gillies is also one of the best goaltending prospects in all of hockey, whereas Ortio is an average prospect who is 3 years further along.
It's pretty hard to justify rating Ortio higher than Gillies IMO.
Poirier has shown more offense in his rookie year of the AHL than Ferland has at any point. Same idea.
