The goalie situation is interesting. Do you use up more than 4 of your NHL contracts on goalies?
If so that could be Gillies, McDonald and the two goalies on the big squad. So no room for Poulin, and only room for Ortio if you are convinced he is an NHLer.
If McDonald not ready for AHL, then maybe you sign a veteran minor leaguer to an AHL contract.
If you are ready to use up 5 contracts for goalies then I could see bringing Poulin back with McDonald targeted for the ECHL.
Maybe you can get Poulin on an AHL deal?
