The above states that the Flames can have an unlimited number of recalls after the regular season ends provided there aren't more than 3 players from regular recalls on the active roster.
The Flames currently have Granlund, Ferland and Wotherspoon on regular recall.
If the Flames send one of the above back down and convert Ortio to a normal recall, then they can sign Gillies to an NHL contract and keep both Ortio and Gillies on the roster.
That being said, I think it is unlikely they demote Granlund, Ferland or Wotherspoon to make room for Gillies.

Couldn't they sign Gillies and just put him on our roster the same as Bennett? No recall needed.
