[Rumour] Ortio indicates that his agent has "talked" with Calgary (nothing major yet)

[hockey.modern]

With Calgary Flames goaltending situation at a turning point, Ortio's time may be coming

Calgary Sun: http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/04/04...-may-be-coming

Ortio, who indicated that his agent has “talked” with Calgary (“but nothing major”), wants to be part of the future.

“It’s a great spot to play hockey,” he said. “We’ve got great fans, the best in the NHL. It’s a hockey town. I’ve enjoyed my time here. So, that’s where I’m at. I don’t want to get ahead of myself … that’s something we’re going to look at after the season.
“But it’s wide open for next year.”

I think it's fairly feasible that Ortio would be back next year in a backup role for fair money. $800k x 1 yr?

[JJ1532]

More than enough issues for him not to be the go to guy next season or for him to get a load of money/term. But more than enough solid play since Ramo went down to suggest he's worth a 1 year deal at less than $1m.

[Funkhouser]

I would look for a two year deal at $1M per

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

He's RFA no? What kind of options does he really have?

[CalgaryFan1988]

After reading in another thread, I got the impression that Treliving wanted to wait until the end of the season to re-sign Ortio.

Bro that is insulting.

[flamesfan1297]

1x1 sound about right? Maybe a 2x1.1?

[Locke]

It was wide open this year!

[devo22]

good, probably best for both sides to keep this relationship going. One year contract would be ideal.

[1_Flames_Fan]

I think he will keep getting better and turn into a consistent NHL back-up and possibly one day claim a starting job(with the Flames or otherwise) I'm comfortable doing an approximately 900x2 year deal at this time.

[MarkGio]

They better be talking. Ortio might be the only way we can have good goaltending next season without spending a 1st round pick or breaking the bank

I knew this was going to happen given that Mono, Gaudreau, Colborne, etc. need contracts and there's only so much space.

[Monahan For Mayor]

I'd go for a 2 years x 1-1.250M. If he breaks out next year we keep him cost controlled for another year.

[GranteedEV]

Would Darcy Kuemper be a good comparable? He had better stats but around the same games played when he signed for 2 Years at $1.25M.

[lazypucker]

If Ortio wants to stay long term, I won't hesitate to offer him something like 3 or 4 years x 1.5m per. He has proven himself to be at least a solid backup. If he is a career backup, the money isn't devastating. If he earns a starter role down the road with us, this will turn out to be a fantastic deal.

[activeStick]

Hopefully Flames sign him as he has looked good lately. Worth a shot I think. I thought I read somewhere on these boards though that a poster had "sources" that already said the Flames have no interest in bringing him back?

[LouCypher]

Definitely want him back next year not sure Id view him as strictly a backup. I think he could at least split duties in a 1A 1B situation. He shows his best results when he is getting plenty of games in.

[Gaudfather]

Would be happy to see Ortio come back - he is just now coming into the age when most goalies begin to blossom - so we don't know where the ceiling on Ortio can be.

He wants to evaluate with his his staff before making any comittments. Further to that I would think any descion would be made after the Flames have addressed the #1 goalie issue, weather it be via trade or UFA.
