One nice thing about having Rittich is that it's not Markstrom or bust for at least this season. I'm hopeful Markstrom can play as well for the Flames as he did for the Canucks but it could take a bit of time for him to acclimate to playing in front of a different team and not facing the amount of rubber he faced with the Canucks. He doesn't really need to be a Vezina candidate for the Flames. He only needs to be a top 15 goaltender.
