Nothing wrong with Gillies starting in the AHL next year too. Goalies can take time to develop and nothing happening right now means we have to move anyone.
Would love to see this Smith / Rittich tandem next year too if things continue well with Gillies and Parsons splitting starts in Stockton.

I agree. I actually thought that was their plan. Having Smith for 2 seasons. Then by the time Gillies is ready they can bring him to the NHL. Not part of a plan was having Riitich as a backup this season. I am glad Flames were forced to try him as a backup this season and Riitich forced the Flames to keep him this season and moved Eddie Lack. No reason to move Gillies because Smith and Riitich are doing great right now.
