I also would like to see rittich as the backup.
Eventually we should trust our own guys a little.

or, you know, they could earn it.
Even if they re-sign Stone, they still lose two NHL defensemen in Engelland and Wideman. Right now, Bartkowski is 4th on the depth chart ... that's not going to cut it. Re-signing Stone and bringing in Hamonic would still leave one spot open for someone to earn.
