Rittich may not be proven yet, as he hasn't really been given that chance. But what I like about him is that he just seems so calm in net. His positioning and rebound control is generally solid, and routine saves don't appear to be a struggle for him like they are with Smith. He never seems to panic or flop around like Smith does, and just looks like a more confident goaltender based on the few games we've seen him in so far.

Watching as a fan, I'm not terrified like I am watching Smith, and I'm confident that Rittich will actually make a big save once in a while.
