I see your point, but I doubt that the flames are ready to expose their goalie depth by potentially losing Rittich. I mean, if I was in the same division as the flames, and I know that there are alot of ifs surrounding Calgary's goal tending, I would easily consider grabbing Rittich and trading my backup for draft picks. Or moving my own waiver exempt goalie down.
