[Waivers] CGY Goalie Joni Ortio put on waivers

I don't understand the move. At the beginning of the season, they had a three headed monster of Hiller, Ortio, and Ramo. They then decided Ramo needed more time and would run with Hiller as the starter and Ortio as the backup and they believed Ortio was the better goalie.. Now Ortio on waivers??

Trust me, not even Mike Milbury is dumb enough to waive a true #1 in Miller for an unproven in Ortio. 

So waiving a terrible contract like Miller's is dumber than trying to offer sheet a player, and if that offer sheet went through it would require you to waive him after giving up the picks as compensation? Or is it pushing to trade a future top 5 center in the league for a garbage return? Some competent people running the show in the Canucks organization.... /s

For those who think we should claim him.:huh:

If he is claimed he would have to go on to the claiming teams 23 man roster, he CANNOT be sent to the Minors, it's the rules

That means no more call ups, A 3 goalie rotation, no cap space, etc.

He has a $600K 1 way contract

Can Ortio play a little defence?
