It's that Ritchie lacks any sort of hockey sense. Of the top 10 rated prospects, he has the worst, and it's not even close. He can't effectively use his teammates and often makes the same mistakes over and over.
Yeah, he racks up his points by being on average 50 pounds heavier than his competition, but that's not something that will transition to the NHL.
He's the easiest player to predict to be a bust at this point in time.

Where does any of this come from? He just finished leading his underdog team back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series.
He had basically no good teammates until they picked up Garlant from Guelph so he was basically a one man team for the most of the year.
