Unsurprisingly, Rittich (and the rest of the youngsters) have outplayed all of the moves that were made.

I never got the sense that Rittich was quite there yet to start, and the worst that can happen is exactly what we saw - Lack was easy to get rid of once it was clear Rittich was the superior player, and I'm sure Prout will have his place once the roster limits are lifted and we need that extra bit of toughness against teams like Shelbyville and (hopefully) into the playoffs. For that reason it was a smart move that basically cost nothing and shored up an area of weakness in the end.
