    Great read on Joni Ortio

    Ortio is one of my top 50 keeper league prospects. That's some good insight, Jimmy.

    Yeah I agree with Ultra ... he is pretty far away. But there's a reason why he made it on my Top 50 KEEPER league prospects ... he has a lot of promise.

    Think of Robin Lehner in Sweden. I think Joni Ortio has the same type of promise, but is actually a more structurally sound goaltender. I have seen a few Youtube videos of him and I remember thinking of a pseudo Johan Hedberg / Jon Quick type of a goalie. Quick feet, just smaller in stature than what is being seen at the NHL level.

    I would give him two more years in Finland. Then we will see him come over to NA and impress. Remember, those Finns need a little longer in their home land before they can truly reap the benefits of their talent in NA!!
