I still think trading Rittich would be a massive mistake. He’s shown the past two years that he can be amazing but he burns out. IMO we have a fantastic tandem in Markstrom/Rittich and we can split the games 50/30. Keeps Markstrom and Rittich both fresh, and if Markstrom goes down to injury I’m not panicking because Rittich is good enough that he’ll give you a chance to win most nights.

I can see why he would want a trade if he thinks he can be a starter somewhere, but I wouldn’t be actively looking to trade him. We have one of the best tandems in the league right now. No need to mess with it.
