With Gillies healthy, the signing of Rittich and McDonald turning pro, I see no need for Poulin to be qualified. If Ortio is qualified, which I'm sure he will be, that currently has the Flames with 5 goalies with active contracts (Schneider's won't activate as he will be in junior)
NHL Level - Elliot, Ortio
AHL level - Gillies, Rittich
ECHL level - McDonald
I really don't see the need for a 6th goalie with an NHL contract. You can cover for any injuries with a PTO or AHL contract.
