David Rittich has signed a new contract with the Calgary Flames.

This is a good contract. Considering what Binnington got, Calgary did well.

One year wonder or future starter we will see

Good value for a back up goalie, but it's incredible value if he works out as a starter.

Cap number and term right where I thought it would be, now if he can undo that Neal trade and just dump his salary using assets instead.

Team friendly contract!
He's going to be Flames starter this year

This leaves Calgary with peanuts to resign Tkachuk....

It's a good price to pay for a guy who could carry the bulk of the workload. But a trade has to be coming for Tkachuk to fit into the cap.

How does it in any way benefit Rittich to sign this when arb would've likely gotten 1 year to UFA plus at least 3 mil. Tre is a wizard with RFAs

Part of it has to be where the team is. It's a good team that can possibly contend. Players like to get paid but they do also like to win.
Good signing.

Personally, I think the Flames will regress next season. I think they overachieved big time last season and outside of their top line they're pretty thin offensively.

He has 2 beat Cam Talbot out for the top spot, we shall see if he can do it if so this deal will look great.

One thing about Talbot is tandem goaltending: he worked well in NYR. Let's forget Edmonton because that D is so terrible that there isn't a goalie who would have looked even decent with that team.

I feel he could get a few starts more than Rittch and behind the Calgary D, he will be fine.

Good signing
