I'm pretty sure that Rittich regressed in both save percentage and GSAA this past year. Many of the league's elite goaltenders are now younger than Rittich.

We should hope for the best, but we should avoid placing all of our eggs in this basket. Look how it turned out with Leeland Irving.
Exactly, that my was my original point. I would welcome back Rittich in a tandem with another goalie, hopefully Kuemper. With a compressed schedule having 2 capable goalies will be important. I hope Rittich can continue to develop, there are a few key things he can dial in on to get better.

I'm not counting on him to become a superstar, but I'm not giving up on his development either.
