I would have also liked to see Rittich but I can understand Treliving wanting to keep the older, better stats guy behind in Stockton as a steadying presence. It's a shrewd call to keep him playing confidently while Gillies sits on the Flames bench. I don't anticipate Jon getting more than 1 start if he gets any net time at all - he's the emergency backup and will be played as such.
I think Treliving's plan for Rittich is keep him in the AHL as a back-up and lose him for nothing. Absolutely nothing that has taken place would make me think anything otherwise. We'll see if he's right about Gillies and Rittich in the next few years. Seems like a waste to me.
