Value of Mason vs Ortio

[muccerbee]

Hi guys and gals,
I've been offered Ortio and Bobby Ryan for Mason (see league settings below). I can see Ryan as a potential bounceback guy as his PDO and 5on5sh% are low. I wonder about how big a downgrade it is from Mason to Ortio. My other goalies are Rask and Talbot (but in the hunt for Bob and Andersen). I can only keep one goalie and it's unlikely to be Ortio...

What do you think - Calgary are a dumpster-fire defensively but I wonder if Ortio might be actually sneaky good and maybe the goalie to give the D some confidence and let Giordano et al attack more (rather than playing deep).

So Mason or Ortio and Ryan?

In full keeper, yes maybe. 1 year is a for sure no. Limited keeper I would consider, but the downgrade would be considerable considering Hiller is in Calgary and they are struggling. Im not a fan of Bobby Ryan at all, overrated imo.

Ok great - yeah it is hard to disagree there. At best it is a Hutchison-Pavelec equivalent from Jets last season. i.e. Ortio might take some starts and do well, but Hiller is still the established guy. The guy I am trading with has a bunch of guys I would like over Ryan but he won't move any of them...

As you can see I am a bit light at RW, hence where Ryan might be an upgrade. If I can land Bob without giving up Rask, then I might still make the move (giving me 4 goalies) and then flip one later.
