What if they believe Smith is a better option than Rittich, for a reason?

Troubling.
The only reason that comes to mind is that they are actually afraid of Rittich turning into a one year starter in a season when his contract expires and he is eligable for arbitration. Maybe they think he is gonna turn into Petr Mrazek after he gets the big money. Wings probably dodged the bullet when they gave Mrazek a bridge contract. He was 92% guy with Vezina upside, 2 seasons later he is playing his way out of this league with 88%. Still better than Smith
