I have this at 0%, and here is why: Rittich is a second-year NHL goalie and a first-year starter. Jon Gillies is a NHL rookie. I have no confidence that a Rittich + Gillies could handle the stress of a stretch drive to the post-season, to say nothing of the playoffs themselves.
The Flames are still heavily invested in developing BOTH goalies, and I think this factors significantly into their decision.
