He's among the league leaders while playing for one of the weakest teams. He's a starting goalie at 19 yo.And Conz is likely not drafted at least partly because he's 5'10 and boasts underwhelming numbers in the Swiss league.
You're right, he slowed down a little bit over the past few games, but that's normal for a 19yo kid. And far away from underwhelming...He plays a good season but he's not among the leaders anymore. 7th in percentage with 90.45%.

Which forum is this? Ortio definitely isn't one of the household names going into this tournament.I dont really pay that much attention to junior hockey, but guys in the major finnish hockey forum seem to think it's a toss up between the finnish goalie Ortio and the US goalie (Campbell his name was..?) and since those fellas atleast consider themselves to be somewhat of experts I'm gonna go with Ortio and Campbell.

Of course, there's no saying he couldn't be one coming out, but a name for safe betters he is not.
a lot of good goaltending on some of the 'non-contender' teams this year, but i think by virtue of their strong teams the best goalies will look like:
Lehner, Campbell, and Roy.
outside chance for someone like conz and ortio, but it's an uphill climb for them.
Went through Jatkoaika's U20 thread with a sharp eye yet found nowhere a statement that'd claim it'd be a two-way race between Ortio and Campbell. The closest I found was a comment that said Campbell's in a league on his own yet after that there's a steady group of challengers (Lehner, Roy, Bobkov, Ortio) with no huge gaps in skill. Which is kind of true, I guess. If you're an optimist.Jatkoaika the forum's name is.
