If there not scoring how are the contributing on the ice? They are not hitting fighting or grinding it out like Ritchie would. Honestly the skill is in next years draft so why not grab at PWF in this draft and draft I highly skilled good sized player next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If we can move up for Reinhart and make trades to fill out the forwards, I wouldn't mind Ritchie at all Ritchie - Horvat - Reinhart Shinkaruk - _____ - Kassian Gaunce - Cassels - Jensen That's a terrific future top nine. Just need a second line center and we're set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrible.dee Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well, for one thing, by the time Ritchie played a game for us this whole "Big Western" fad will be over and some other team will be winning with other qualities. Personally, I'm not a big fan of "follow the leader" team building, BUFF trashed their entire organization trying to hang with Boston and I think we've taken some hits as well. Other thing is that I'm not a big fan of drafting power forwards with prime picks. Theses big kids bull their way around Junior, then try it in the NHL and get their a$$es handed to them. Their size advantage in Junior makes them appear to be more skilled then they are. You do make a good point about this years draft not being a skill-fest, and risking the pick because of it. But I still say, take the most skilled offensive player you can with your high picks, grinders, checkers and surprise scorers come out of the later rounds, but in the fist you should always be looking for your next star, or the closest thing to it.

I.Am.Ironman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think Ritchie would be a good option if he is still around at #10 if we end up with ottawa's pick from Anaheim. I think the 6th selection is best used for either one of Draisatl, Nylander, or Dal Colle... Whichever one is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 To the OP, the Kings aren't successful because they physically wear teams down, they're successful because they have arguably the most solid D-core in the league led by arguably the best 2-WAY defenseman in the league. Their forwards are also not just goons that wear other teams down but competent NHL players that rarely make mistakes. Size helps the Kings, but it's their skill, even on their 4th line and 3rd pairing that make them so good. That's why if I was Linden or Benning I'd be picking the most skilled player with our pick and hope he adds on some weight as he gets older. Ritchie is definitely not the most skilled player that will be available at the 6th pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking mama Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We shouldn't draft Ritchie. I predict he suffers a similar fate to "Big Country" Reeves of the Grizzlies...which is being over-rated, over-valued, over-paid,...then over-weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
