I get that Gillies is the guy we invested into and may still be projected to be the better NHL keeper but I wonder what Rittich's future is with the club and what he would have to do to prove himself.

Has he?
I have not been paying close attention but was under the impression that he was extremely good in his first 10–15 games or so, but has cooled considerably since then.
