Agreed. It was the first backup stint in the NHL for Rittich. It was a good development season for him and he will probably come in to this season with more confidence and obviously more experience.
I am pretty high on Rittich, I think he has the ability to be at the very least a really good nhl backup. His AHL numbers are outstanding and I think he will take a another step this season.
