There's no better situation for a young goalie then to be behind a talented but rickety old one who can't be asked to play more than 45 games before the playoffs.
Jon Gillies needs to see a ton of rubber at the NHL level so we can find out if he's legit. I've liked some of the things I've seen, I want to see him take the next step.
Everything I just said can also be applied to Rittich. I'm glad we're not devoting a ton of resources to bringing in an outside back up
