Kiprusoff in his prime was on a completely other level, so I don't think it's fair to compare him and Rittich. Kipper will go down as one of the best and we were fortunate to have him.
That said, Rittich is establishing himself as a #1 goalie in this league and is still young for his position. It's a much nicer problem to be hunting for a competent backup than a competent starter.
