It's that there simply are 5-6 better prospects than him in this draft class. You people getting offended over it need to realize the difference.

There is likely some scouts and perhaps some teams that have Ritchie top 5. Whether there are 5-6 guys better than him is a matter of opinion and not fact. With the way Burke brings him up you have to think the Flames may consider him in the top grouping of forwards. I hope that doesn't offend the guys who keep saying "anybody but Ritchie". So far Burke hasn't really brought up anyone besides Ekblad, Bennett, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Dal Colle and Ritchie. That may be our top 6 right there and Ritchie may not be the lowest on the list.
The embarassing comments on him have slowed down though so CP has probably reached a more balanced opinion on him than there was a few weeks back.
