Some other posters floated the idea of Aaron Dell. He's a guy who could play 20 games for you as a back up and post respectable numbers. If you could get him to sign for $1 million, you could free up $1.5 million for by dumping Rittich.
As a Calgary boy, Dell might even make sense long term as Markstrom's backup.
He just needs to apologize to Bennett.
Before anyone asks why a team wouldn't just sign Dell and give up assets for Rittich, well because Dell is a back up, while Rittich still has no. 1 potential. A team might still see Rittich as having that potential, he did go to the all star game last year. Actually, would have made a lot of sense for the Oilers to trade for Rittich.
