I don't get this. How many powerforwards are there in the NHL right now? 1 or 2? Lucic and Kane maybe?
Powerforwards are dead. Iginla was the last true powerforward in the NHL.
Ritchie has to be truly exceptional to become a successful NHLer given his play style. Many better powerforward prospect have come and gone without amounting to anything.
Not sure why any Flames fan would want a player like this after Chucko and Nemisz.
