Ritchie may indeed end up a better player than anyone else in the draft - there are many scouting reports that say this exact thing. He is currently not has highly ranked, but if a team does believe that he will end up as the best player down the road, they should snag him then. He may end up a much better player than Draisaitl in the long run - time will tell.

I would really doubt Ritchie is available at 10. Ekblad, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Bennett, Dal Colle - these will most likely go ahead of Ritchie. Then Ehlers and Nylander. Don't think he lasts much longer after this, if he doesn't end up getting selected before some of the names I listed.
