Definitely for the next year, if not for this one. I want to see if Rittich can handle the starter's workload throughout the whole regular season. But apparently it's more important to keep losing games with Smith, games the team would have won with Rittich. I bet it's going to do so much good for the team morale coming into the playoffs.

The most he's ever played is 48 games in his entire pro career.
You don't want him to burn out for the playoffs in a desperate attempt to get a slightly higher seed.
And saying that its more important to "keep losing games with Smith" complete ignores the fact that they are winning more games with him than they are losing.
