Only way to figure that out is to give him some starts at the NHL level, but it is always difficult giving breaking a goalie into the NHL. I am not sure he is ready (no idea). I just know that he has been doing well in the AHL, and is an RFA.

I'm not goalie expert, but my scouting report on Rittich would be that his positioning and rebound control has impressed me, his skating is some of the best out of any goalie I've ever seen allowing him to get into position so quickly, and he's a battler. I really like him.
