rekker Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Meh, he's no replacement for Zak Hyman. Good net front presence for the PP. He's not the skilled sparkplug Zak is though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Slow but intimidating. Good pick up for TO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hate to say it but apart from Hyman's term him and Ritchie makes a lot of sense and will complement that lineup well. Lucky thing they have no D... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Like the player but that's still too much. Glad they won't be addressing the issues on their D though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But THEN SN says Ritchie is a top-6 candidate on the Leafs like he is Connor McDavid or something.

I know the Leafs are the crown jewel but c’mon I can’t take it! that D+ was handed out by Sport Logiq. So we're not the darlings of the fancy stats kids. I think I'll be OK. I'm tired of the arrogance of the stats crowd tbh. If any team had it nailed down we would have seen a money puck team win the cup by now. Seattle was supposed to be the darlings of these guys, but what have they decided to do? value size on defence and cap space. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That garbage is white noise to me nowadays anyways but I understand the frustration and bewilderment by those assessments. Ritchie as a first round selection always had top six potential, he has throughout his career to this point been a player who takes too many questionable penalties, doesn't have first rate speed or skills but can play the power forward role. He would excel on a team's third line as a winger who can bang and crash as well as provide offense. I am sure he will see PP and top line time in Toronto because why not and the crash the next/garbage goal gameplan fits his skill set too. He had great chemistry with Ondrej Kase which if I am correct was also signed by the Leafs so if his concussion problems are behind him having those two on a line may be potential for something. At the very least he has a new opportunity with a stoied franchise and maybe a fresh start will do him well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words mean very little The action will speak volumes for Canuck fans or Toronto Sports The Canucks will be a better team (albeit that bar was pretty low to begin with) Laffs won our division, while we never even made the playoffs in a weak division but they are also the greatest 1st round exit champs Neither team has bragging rights, TO has not won a cup longer than us Till then it is just selling and marketing talk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like moves Vancouver made, Hamonic played well last half of season, he was hurt after game 2..He will play good with Hughes.. Poolman will surprise fans, #4 or #5 -- {18- 20 min } OEL ---Will be much better, happy again -- Solid #2 --- {{{ 21 -- 23 mins}}} Garland 5'10 .25, 185 , plays much bigger -Fans will love GP 75 - G 25--28 --PTS 62--65 -- Great pickup Dickinson --26 , 6'2 -- great speed, 3rd line, PK will look good playing with Podkolzin and Pearsons.. Podkolzin - 20 -- 6'2 , 210lbs -- will look real good playing on 2nd and 3rd lines, plays with edge GP 75--G 18- 20--PTS 40-45 Schenn -- Solid # 6 or 7 --{15 -- 17 mins }} Halak -- Solid backup 30 games Rathbone -22 will come out flying, will be #4 D man by December -- Skill and skatings fantastic -- MacEwen 6'3 --will need in lineup, veryfast and tough,,, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I would not have guessed this. Short enough term and the AAV is fine. Good value overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
