The Calgary Flames will very likely have three promising minor league goaltenders fighting for ice time next season. With the recent re-signings of Jon Gillies and David Rittich, along with the likely scenario Tyler Parsons turns pro, the Flames may have to get creative to ensure everyone gets proper playing time. As I see it, Calgary has four options when it comes to managing these three goalies for next season.
We’re going to assume Parsons does indeed turn pro for 2017-18 for the sake of this article. At this point, there’s really nothing left for him to accomplish at the junior level after what he’s done the last 18 months.
