How do you know this?

I believe Rittich will most likely get more starts than DeSmith going forward. This year and next and beyond.

I think that is likely, but I also think DeSmith's deal sets some fairly impenetrable delimiting factors on what Rittich can negotiate.
I agree that Rittich's contract will likely be worth more than DeSmith's, but I don't see how Flames fan should be anything but thrilled at this deal. Some have been projecting Rittich hitting a cap number of $5–6 m this summer, and I think this contract demonstrates that such concerns are preposterous.
