The Calgary Flames have found a goalie for next season.
His name is Joni Ortio.
No, he won’t be the starter, nor should he be, just yet.
But the Flames netminder should — and will — be re-signed this summer and will be brought back in to challenge for the backup job next season.
There is no debate, as it is quite possibility is the easiest personnel decision the team has this offseason.
Outside of two shaky starts at the beginning of the season when the team was in full panic mode, his body of work with the Flames this season is respectable, given how bad the team was.
