Good for BSD, glad he’s staying in the NHL for a team that makes their goalies look great.

I was kinda hoping he would come back to Calgary, but Preds would be a good fit

A solid human. Hope he uses this opportunity to further cement his place in the league as a regular.

Good for BSD. I think he'll do well in Nashville behind Saros.

And then an update today from Rittich having a FaceTime call with the fan. One can only imagine the tough questions the kid threw at Ritter!

Good for him. I still feel he can be a solid 1A with the right goalie coach. I feel like Mike Smith rubbed off on him in the wrong way and he was still feeling it even after he left. If Ritter can calm down and get out of his own head I think he can still be a great goalie.

He was an amazing goalie against Toronto and he's even an All-Star Goalie.

I hope he does well there. I doubt he can pry that job away from Saros, but it is just as good of an opportunity as anywhere else, and the Preds have been great with their goalies. Hopefully he takes that last step forward and becomes a reliable #1 for next off-season.
