I don't think you make Parsons and MacDonald a tandem in the ECHL. Maybe you do? I am curious if the Flames end up re-signing Rittich. Huska spoke highly of him. Pascal spoke highly of him. He came over and did well in the AHL. Did fine for his first ever showing (a half game - small sample size is small) in the NHL too. Unless the Flames looked at Rittich as a stop-gap only, and needed to completely blow them away to be considered a long-term asset, I would say he has delivered on his potential thus far, and should be re-signed.
My preference would be

Rittich NHL Backup
Parsons AHL 1A
Gillies AHL 1B
McDonald ECHL Starter
Schneider WHL Overage
