I feel like this is a fair deal, leaning toward Calgary's favor, but it's such a big need and weird year, hard to Knock the Leafs for it.

Rittich not having to quarantine is definitely a bonus, he's hovered between perfectly average, maybe a little above at his best, to below average and not awful. Overall he's been consistently in that range, which likely makes him a solid but unspectacular back up. A 3rd is a lot of that, but given the quarantine issues with going outside of the division, the Leafs near desperate need for goalie insulation, and salary retention being a forgone conclusion in trades this year, I feel like it's just on the high side of fair rather than clear overpay.

Again, I honestly think the Leafs got a little tunnel vision, as Rittich stood on his head against them a couple times this year. I feel like they liked that Rittich sometimes seems like a guy who can come up with a huge game during important times, but if you could have gotten Forsberg for a little less, and he already costs much less against the cap, then that may have been a wise decision given the draft capital they have now given up.

About the value that's just right for Rittich at 50%. Bye bye Freddy.

Fair I guess. There is a decent chance he stays as the backup too.

Hahahahaha are you seriously using goals against?!?

And who was in goal for those Calgary's goals against?

You got it, Vezina trophy finalist, David Rittich.


Leafs had Andersen post an .897 sv% through 23 games this year...

If he wasn't good with Calgary's defense, TML fans should start to hate him sooner than later...


What do you mean Jon Snow?

It's been 3 games. His stats in the first 2 games were actually quite good anyways.

And what does that have to do with the leafs defense?
Just wondering.

I argued he would be worst with TML defense in front of him than in CGY, and well... 3.35 GAA 0.877sv%

Oh, I see. That's fair.

Wait 5 or so more games when we have a better sample size.

To be fair, the leafs have a low goals against average, but a poor save percentage, meaning they have a good defense, but bad goalies. The defense is not the problem. The goalies are.

Terrible game, but its way too small a sample size.
You look goofy for even circling back to this after 3 games

Dude, Rittich was traded at the trade dead line and he is going to be UFA. He is going to play like 5-6 games in total.

How many bad games should I wait? Please tell me.

More than 1 lol.

He had an awful game, an ok game and a decent mid-game appearance.

Kinda strange that Hutchinson who has a 2.49 GAA is the odd man out. I voted fair trade, but geez Riitch hasn't done himself any favours with his poor play. It was his time to shine in order to get his last contract. If continues his poor play, he'll be looking at 3rd goalie money.
