If you feel Rittich is more ready because he played 2 season in the Czech league over Gillies' 3 years in college and 2 full years of being a pro in NA your logic seems flawed. Rittich is only year older than Gillies but to you seems more ready even though he has played less Pro games in NA than Gillies.
I think Gillies has as good a shot if not better than Rittich to be a serviceable backup/#2 in the NHL next year.
Let them battle it out at camp.
