He's been a middling goalie, who's showed signs of being a below average goalie going back to the second half of last year. I know the number don't mean that much this early, but he's ranked 45th (out of 50) in SV% and 43rd in GAA. Middling would be an upgrade right about now.

It may not be the long-term solution we all seek, but as of now I think the better option may be the one sitting on the bench.
Unfortunately, this one is on Treliving. He had 3 big issues to fix this off-season. Coaching, scoring depth, and goaltending. He seems to have done a really solid job on the first two, and failed on the 3rd one. Very few teams are perfect in the cap era, but unfortunately it could sink the season of a pretty promising team.
I think at the very least, let's lean more on Rittich. Don't throw him into the deep end of the pool again, but let's see if a more 50/50 type role suits him.
