Personally, I hate that idea because it creates too much of a goalie jam in the organization. It forces Parsons back to the ECHL for another year and that seems really dumb.

While I agree with this (and have voiced the same concern), there is one possible solution. If they lack confidence in Rittich and want to claim another body, they could then look to lend or trade Rittich out to another AHL team, thus still having room for both Gillies and Parsons in Stockton.
Making a waiver claim is essentially a vote of no confidence on the current duo. And if so, then go ahead and move one of them out. But keeping them and creating a logjam would be bad for everyone.
