If the Flames do trade Gillies, I think it would make more sense to wait a year.
Parsons should be the starter in the ECHL for a year.
For the mean time, I think a Gillies/Rittich tandem (with some time in the NHL) works.
However, once Parsons moves up, the Heat will have a crowded crease.
Hopefully one of Gillies/Rittich could at least be a regular NHL backup by then though.
