Spending assets to upgrade a backup goalie position seems like a waste to me. We need to be worried about playoffs, not trying to scrape another few wins in the regular season. If Rittich falters in the playoffs or gets injured does anyone honestly think that upgrading the backup will carry the Flames to the cup?
Who was the last team that won a cup after their starter went down and the backup had to take over? Fleury and the penguins aren't a relevant example either.
