It won’t be possible as he will not be deployed with Bo Horvat all year getting second line minutes. He even saw some time on the PP where Podkolzin will not.

TmanVan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Jankowski ehhhh. I can see Benning sitting there with an evil laugh, putting jankowskis name up on the white board on a line with Baertschi and Granlund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch and see. Abby fans might want him there, but that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No moving up in the line up half way through the year after after playing solid? Ok then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet PK Subban would look great as a third pair Dman as well with PP time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the trade I was all over Pod making the team due to cap reasons. Now I think he is best suited playing in all situations being the go to guy. Marinating a prospect has never been viewed as a bad thing. Especially one coming from another country where his coach would give him 4 mins a night sometimes.

MeanSeanBean Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Always thought he looked like Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill. For that reason alone I say sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we not use him as a call up if he sets that league on fire instead? He can be the top guy on the team learning systems and English while getting all the ice time in the world. Or, because he has NHL level physicality and skill already. He can learn systems and English with the team directly. Cut out the middle man. It shows him we believe in him too. Guy looks 30 man, those Russians hit puberty hella quick. Edit: Getting a tad off topic. Sorry fellers. Ritchie would be a dope add. Lol.

But otherwise 62.2% ozone starts / 54.1% corsi 2.0 on ice goals for 5on5 - not good, considering his minutes (2.3 against). 2:44/game powerplay ice time. Played primarily with Krejci (44 pts in 51 games). I'm not particularly interested in giving him those kind of minutes/conditions in order to extract 26 pts and some unimpressive 'possession' and goal metrics out of him....ie don't expect production resembling that on our fourth line.... I was actually referring to Pius Suter who was also not qualified. I just mentioned it in this thread as opposed to creating another one. So I know less about Suter then Ritchie. I was curious on both players so this reply is great! I’ve never been particularly impressed with Ritchie any time I’ve watched him but yeah his stats look good. Seems like maybe he just took Debrusks spot in the line-up? Debrusk point total drops and Ritchies goes up? Maybe neither are particularly good players. Now Ritchie is too expensive to keep around.

Marinating a prospect has never been viewed as a bad thing. Especially one coming from another country where his coach would give him 4 mins a night sometimes. He already was "the guy". Playing him 4/5 minutes a night didn't even matter. By the time the playoffs rolled around in the khl last year he was a beast and probably the teams most important player, despite the coach trying to limit him. (Was on pace to have the most khl playoff points in history by any player under the age of 21 if I remember correctly) I would normally agree with you as far as sending prospect's to the ahl and not rushing them, but this is going into his draft year +3 now. Playing on the third line is the perfect mix of low pressure, with just enough ice time to prove yourself and earn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting What I wonder about is if Ritchie is a product of being a Bruin. The Boston aura took to him and transformed him. Look what it did to Hall. I can’t say I’m confident Ritchie will be the same player elsewhere for the money, unless it’s a similar environment and team work ethic/understanding as in BOS. I like what he showed but I’m hesitant for him to come here, tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further back now but Loui Eriksson?. Bartkowski? We should maybe just stay away from Boston players lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big guys that can play who drop the gloves and hit like a dump truck are worthy roster spots. If you can get him you welcome him with open arms. The Sedin's can help him with his work outs.
