Not a lot really.
Rittich will be paid at a $110k salary in the AHL.
Gillies will be pad at a $95k salary in the AHL. If at the end of the season with all his NHL call ups (where he gets his NHL salary) combined with his AHL salary, Gillies hasn't earned at least $110k, the Flames will write him a cheque for the difference.
At the end of the season both are guaranteed to earn at least $110k. Gillies will just make slightly less in the AHL per day.
The guarantee isn't worth a whole lot either.. to make the $15k difference Gillies just has to spend 4 days on the NHL roster.
