Next year transition Gillies to the NHL and let Parsons have the AHL net. That's a good plan in my opinion.

Fully agree. The puzzling part is what they are doing with David Rittich. Seems to be the odd man out so far this season with minimal playing time in pre-season.
His numbers were too good last year to be forgotten, unless we are missing something?
I was really surprised we did not see more of him in both NHL or AHL pre-season but net is quite crowded in the organization right now.
Rittich would appear to be an obvious tradable prospect before next season. But does need starts to show his worth.
