I really like Ritchie as a prospect, and he does fill a huge hole for the Flames organizationally.

There is a chance that Burke drafts Ritchie - based on the following probability:

The Flames get bumped down to 5th in the lottery, AND Reinhart, Ekblad, Bennett and Dal Colle are off the board.

I think there is a better chance that Burke trades up into the draft.

Once again, I really like Ritchie as a prospect, and think he would be a very valuable addition to the Flames moving forward, but those guys ahead of him are just that much better and I don't think Button or Burke would pass this opportunity up.
