I agree with this AND we are talking about a player who has “lost” the starters net 2years in a row at the most important time of year. Followed up now with an off-season acquisition which firmly states the team doesn’t seem him evolving into our long term #1 goalie, as that job just got given to Markstrom.
I firmly believe in goalie tandems even with Markstrom, but how excited is Rittich to continue here now? I’m sure he’ll be the team mate he’s always been, but deep down I’m guessing he’d like to play somewhere where the starters net can still be had. If he’s not completely satisfied with the situation now, just another reason the cap space might look appealing vs keeping him.
