I hope the Flames keep both Rittich and Gillies next season - goalies don't usually hold much value in a trade unless they are young (which both are) and show themselves to be 'awesome' in the NHL (neither one did this so far, but I argue they haven't been bad either - both have looked really good and really mediocre, which is fine for their experience level, and either one can be a decent back-up right now).
At any rate, I was hoping to see both Kylington and Foo up. Foo because he has been performing lately and basically deserves that 'carrot', and Kylington because I thought he looked better than any other of the defensive prospects during training camp/preseason. If this team wants to get faster and play faster, getting Kylington into the NHL would help, especially since these games basically mean nothing and can help him get acclimated.
