I've always like Gillies, largely because I love huge goalies, having suffered through the Flames playing walls like Dubnyk, Rinne, or Bishop. Rittich is no shrimp at 6'3" but Gillies is 6'6". Man, if he can find a groove...
He also couldn't track the puck (at the NHL level) until it was below the hash marks which scared the crap out of me. Whats really weird is he never had that problem before. Its like one bad one went in and he got a case of the yips. I fully expect that to be gone from his game this year.
