Yeah, just brushing him aside suggesting Ritchie only has a great shot and good skating is being pretty disingenuous. Ritchie has a lot going for him. His shot, his playmaking, his skating and his size are all major pluses.
Needs to work on intensity though, which beset a guy like Getzlaf previously.
He's a guy that will need more guidance and development then Bennett or Reinhart but he could be just as good.
