I think it is pretty evident that Rittich has little to no trade value. He would be in the exact same position with any team that traded for him in that he would have to clear waivers and he is not a proven NHL backup at this point.
Curtis McElhinney ( best goalie draft by the Flames in the 21st century by NHL games played: 186) was picked up by the Leafs on waivers from Columbus. Columbus would rather have Joonas Korpisalo as their backup.
