He could possibly get 25-30 if he's in the right situation at the peak of his performance (and that team would have to lack any forward depth). Similar to Penner's one good year with Edmonton when he got 60+ points. Draisaitl/Bennett/Reinhart will likely do the same amount of goal scoring though (25-30), which is good.

I'd take Bennett and Ehlers' wristers/slappers over Ritchie's easily.
