Well two different scouts said it in a link was posted probably 10-20 pages ago in this same thread. Of course the OP only provided a couple of the quotes on Ritchie and not necessarily the most flattering ones. At the time I thought of posting the rest of the quotes but didn't. I mean this is a guy that scored 5 goals in one game against Sam Bennett's Kingston team.
He's a very intriguing prospect to me. Althought Getzlaf was a centre I think a lot of the same quotes could have described him in his draft year. Both physically dominant players who didn't bring it 100% every night in junior.
I'm intrigued by several of the guys outside the top 4. Still would love to land in the top 4 but I think its great that there are 3 big wingers projected to go in the 5-10 range when size up front is one of our biggest organizational needs. I trust the Flames scouts are doing their due diligence on all of them.
