I think my original post is being misunderstood here. If Ottawa is willing to overpay for him, I hope it's listened to.
I don't want to shop Rittich, and I would be upset at a ho-hum trade. But if a desperate team can be pillaged here, I think it's worth the thought.
I'm thinking Forsberg to Nashville trade - where a desperate move clearly benefited the team with something to give. With Gillies and Parsons, this is a gamble we could still come out with great goaltending from.
Of course, Rittich as part of our goalie options going forward is my preference. I really like Rittich, and am excited that were in a great position going fkrward. I am only saying that potential for overpayment is here - and Ottawa is the team I could see doing it.
