The Calgary Flames are taking care of business, rounding up their remaining restricted free agents and making sure they have contracts. Up now: their pair of AHL goalies, Jon Gillies and David Rittich, who have both been re-signed to one-year, two-way deals (cap hits to come later).
With Mike Smith and Eddie Lack acquired earlier in the offseason, it’s likely both Gillies and Rittich are destined to play in the AHL this upcoming season – and perhaps a bit of ECHL time, as Tyler Parsons is likely to turn pro.
The Flames have a lot of goalies and few spots for them, so the one-year deals make sense for both prospects – they’re “show me” deals.
