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.

I don't agree with this at all. First of all, to the best of my knowledge Iginla is still in the game and playing very well. Second, there are power forwards all over the NHL. It is a REALLY important position. Having the net presence, physical play, combined with the ability to score and play top 6 is really valuable.
