I thought I read differently.
Won’t matter. The guy is a loser and has no leverage with Trump.

-- I thought I read differently. --

IIRC, the thought that Ohio delegates went to the runner up started with a piece at Conservative Treehouse.

Because if Kasich dropped out according to Ohio election law all of his 66 delegates become bound to the second place finisher, Donald Trump.

The link in the blockquote is to Ohio-Republican-Party-Rules-9-18-15, but I couldn't find the delegate reassignment rule in there, or in Ohio election law.

Exactly right. The only thing it would affect, if such a rule was in place, would be the timing of getting to 1237 "on paper." I don;t think anything else changes, because both Cruz and Kasich have an eye on knocking Trump out at the convention, without regard to primary results or delegate allocation made during and by the primary/caucus process.
