Last night we could compare his style to smiliar body type of Bishop and I bet we all seen the difference. Rittich looked more composed. His play drop down when Smith injured, which is unfortunate. I watched them both closesly last year when they were at Stockton and Rittich was better. I hope 2 bad games against hot teams did not kill his shot at NHL career after season and half of hard work and great play.
I agree on Gillies, something about the way he moves does not seem right. I also think he is slow, very slow to react and the big frame saves him from being slightly out of position. Having never really watched him I don't know if this is what he does or he still needs a few adjustments to the NHL game.

I am not down on him or anything just that his play is not overly encouraging to me at this point.
