The young net minder is in love with Calgary, but are the Flames in love with him?
Joni Ortio says he wants to be back next year. Says contract extension talks haven't really started, though. #Flames

Joni Ortio is actively making his pitch to stay in Calgary for the foreseeable future, but are the Flames going to make that happen? That is one of the million dollar questions this off-season that the Flames must answer before the 2016-17 season starts. While Ortio did play well at the end of the season after Karri Ramo's injury, this writer doesn't believe he's the long term answer as the starting goaltender right now.
