What makes you compare those two?
Ritchie had more goals than Bennett, Reinhart and Draisaitl and the same as Dal Colle. He's an elite goal scorer with size and the most physical of the top end prospects in this draft. Other than the supposed inconsistency issues he sounds like the total package for a winger and fits our need for big, strong, physical players.
I still think we'll end up with a Sam but Ritchie is one of my favourites in this draft and the guy I would've been hoping for if we hadn't lucked out and finished 4th.
