Contrary to recent opinion I think our goaltending is pretty solid next season as is. Rittich came in and played excellently in a back up role which is way more than most goaltending prospects ever do.
On top of that Mike Smith was one of the best goalies in the league before he got hurt. As soon as he went down Rittich was thrown into the deep end as a starter and struggled but gained some valuable experience that will have him way more confident next season.
