Likely goes to show that they have no idea what they're talking about.
If we get Reinhart and Risto back for Johnny I'll be bummed, and I'm starting to warm on Risto - but Reinhart is a leech who they stapled to Eichel's wing in order to boost production.

Rittich is 28 - and I think if he was going to take a step forward, it would have been this past year. His save % above expected was -0.313% in 19/20 when it was 0.251% the year before. He dropped from a .911 (career best) to a .907. I think Rittich is what he is, which is an average 1B goalie that needs to be paired with someone notably better than him. Kuemper at 28 did jump up to a .925 and save % above expected of 0.257% in his 28 year old season, but he had years where he had posted a .915, .916, .915, and a .932 before kind of stabilizing in Arizona for the past 2 seasons. I just don't see Rittich taking a meaningful step forward from here on.
