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.

Performance history, or lack of it.
Look at Andrew Hammond. Dude went on an unreal run (24 games) and earned a 3 year, 1.35M per year contract. So even if Rittich maintains this play all year, and he gets 55 games...what type of contract does he get?
It's not Hellebuyck money, that's for sure.
