Some more fuel to the Ritchie fire.
From the comments section on this article (commenter NDRE)

Quote:
Nick Richie
While Bennett has run away with many of the individual accolades in the OHL this season, Nick Ritchie’s numbers indicate that he has serious top-5 talent.
His 0.44 even-strength goals-per-game place him sixth in an elite group of OHL forwards the past 12 years who have broken 0.40: Patrick Kane, Tyler Seguin, John Tavares, Steven Stamkos, Gabriel Landeskog, Ritchie, Bennett, Jeff Skinner, and Nail Yakupov.
What is more, of his 35 assists, 27 have been primary, and only eight of his 35 assists have been scored on the power-play.
Another compelling statistic for Ritchie: he has already cleared 6’2″ and 220 lbs. There have been four OHL/WHL forwards over 6’2″ selected top-10 in the NHL draft since 2003. Each of the four has been selected higher than his pre-draft scoring would indicate, and each has been successful at the NHL level: Eric Staal (2nd overall), Jordan Staal (2nd), Andrew Ladd (4th), and Ryan Johansen (4th). Of the four, only Eric Staal achieved more points-per-game than Ritchie his pre-draft season.

Ritchie has an abnormally high number of primary assists to secondary assists:
EV: 27G, 20A1, 6A2
PP: 11G, 06A1, 2A2
SH: 02G, 01A1, 0A2
Because if this his “primary” EV points-per-game is remarkable:
