Assuming that Rittich or Gillies would be ready for the backup roll right out of camp would have been a huge and foolish gamble. But having Lack for a month or so gave them the opportunity to see that Riddich was carrying on from last year. He showed that he was ready.
So a simple swap of Lack for Riddich, and the team is in a good place with respect to goaltending.
Now that it didn't work out for Lack here, I am happy to see that he is getting another opportunity.
And now that Parsons has put some work in at the ECHL level, he is ready to take the next step.
I know it's popular to rag on Treliving these days, but he handled this situation pretty damn well if you ask me.

Quit being reasonable. The internet speaks in hyperbole and outrage, not measure and balance.
