Not much more he can do with regards to playmaking when the next best goalscorer on the team has 25. Then 21.
I do agree that he is much more of a finisher, but he is a legitimately good playmaker as well. It is like Iginla - great finisher obviously, and extremely underrated as a playmaker. Ritchie has the ability to thread those passes when he is getting double-teamed or doesn't have the best scoring chance. That is a valuable asset to his game.
As for Rick Nash - I don't really agree with the comparison - but you absolutely do win with Rick Nash. Extremely overrated player, but still a damn good player that is an asset for any team to win with.
