I hope the tandem next year is:
Smith
Gillies

Give Gillies a look with some sheltered starts while Smith has a proven ability to carry a starters workload (unlike Elliott).
This also gives Parsons a spot, and hopefully a good amount of starts, in the AHL alongside Rittich.

I like Johnson, but I'd rather give Gillies a try at this point.
