The thing is, Rittich is an RFA this summer. Say the flames do take the wait and see approach. What if Rittich finishes with his current sv% and GAA? What if he gets Vezina votes? What if he wins a playoff round or 2.
What’s going to stop him from getting near or Hellebuyck like money? Goalies are voodoo to me as well and the idea of paying Rittich $5M-$6M on a long term deal scares me. That’s why I’m in the sign him early camp to get that number as low as possible.
