Yeah, you might sign a deal today - I know I would certainly give it a very good look if in his shoes. For an athlete that has never had long term stability at premium dollars, it's a huge deal to potentially secure dollars for yourself today compared to tomorrow.
I agree it likely is far better for Rittich to wait it out, but you have to relate to the fact that he is likely worrying to some degree: what if i get hurt, what if the team cools off etc.
