Maybe not. But it sure looks like he'll score a lot of goals. Nothing wrong with a pure sniper with size.

I have no idea why you guys think Ritchie is doomed to be fatty mcfatterson the rest of his life while some of these skinny kids are going to be able to add 20-30lbs of muscle no problem. The argument does seem more than a little ridiculous to me. With pro trainers, nutritionists, etc Ritchie shouldn't have a big problem getting into pro shape.

The problem is, elite CHL hockey players should already be highly focused on training and diet. Most of Ritchie's peers are - the ones serious about hockey. What secrets are pro trainers going to impart to him that he's currently ignorant of?
And given the fact human metabolism maxes out in childhood, it's only going to get harder to lose weight as he gets older, not easier. That's true of anyone. On the flip side, people naturally get bigger and stronger as they get into their early to mid 20s.
