G is one position you just dont rush.
I think the idea is Parsons and Gillies splitting up the starts in the AHL while Rittich plays backup for this year. Next season, Parsons gets more starting time in the AHL and Gillies plays backup. Hopefully by then we can see whether or not Gillies has starting potential with Parsons on the verge of becoming an NHLer too.
