If Gillies proves that he isn't up to the task though, there are more than a few decent backups available for next to nothing. A guy like Jaro Halak passed through waivers this year. I wouldn't really be worried about the quality of your backup as long as you have a starter that you can trust.

Nope.
You let Gillies play in the AHL next year, its has to be Elliott and whomever else. The problem being that the backup doesnt tend to get enough games, they've got to play.
Unless they decide to split the workload, but even then, goalies tend to like more games.
