Flames are in an interesting situation as while it's only been 10 games Rittich has been lights out in the AHL. If he continues this pace one would think the Flames may like to keep him in the fold possibly as the backup next season and I don't think you can go with a Johnson/Rittich duo because of the unknowns. If you sign Johnson (I don't believe the team sees him as a starting goaltender) Rittich will see that there's no opportunity with the Flames for a backup role and he probably bolts.
