I can just see Burke targeting Ritchie. Can any long time OHL fan comment on what separates Nick Ritchie from Zack Kassian during his draft year. True Ritchie is leading his team in points, but Kassian wasn't far from leading his team. Coincidentally both players played for Peterborough in their draft year and both players stand tall at 6'3.
Kassian's Stats: 61gp 24g 39a 63p 136pim
Ritchie's Stats: 61gp 39g 35a 74p 136pim
Just like most posters, I did some quick youtube scouting on Ritchie and all I really saw was a physical, big winger who has a solid shot. His puck handling didn't appear that great and you could tell it was difficult for him to generate any speed given his size. Does anyone else see him project as the next Kassian 2.0?
