0% chance someone who is Ritchie's size and skill is a late first round pick in other years. He had four fights this year in the ohl (one in the preseason) three against the tougher guys in the league and won 3 with a draw. He was also the best player on his team so it would have been stupid to fight constantly. According to dropyourgloves.com he hasn't lost a fight in his ohl career. Lucic fought a ton more but didn't put up anywhere near the points of Ritchie.
Not sure why there is the need to tear guys down... If you don't like him, fine. But he's a good prospect and will be a good nhl player.
