It seems he lacks the mental fortitude that clear cut NHL starting goaltenders have. Even the best goaltenders go through the odd rough patch but it's always a roller coaster with Rittich. Maybe his ceiling is simply of a 1A/B type of goaltender. Really given they signed him out of Europe we should be ecstatic that he's as good as he is as the bigger problem is the goaltenders the organization has drafted and developed haven't even managed to become viable NHL goaltenders in any capacity.
