Its true that we are well stocked positionally on left-wingers, but as Burkie alluded to we lack big, mean power wingers in the Lucic mold to play in the top-six. So he kind of fills an organizational need. Plus, if we could get him to switch over to RW, he could ride shotgun with Gaudreau and give him a little more room. Don't get me wrong- i still like the top-4, i just wouldn't be upset if we took Ritchie.

Maybe we should be looking at the gritty RW, Brendan Lemieux, in the 2nd round instead. He looked pretty good in the Top Prospects game.
