I'm not thrilled about Ritchie being on a line with Johnny and Mony but I'm keeping an open mind since Sutter has earned the benefit of the doubt and I am also more confident that he will shorten the bench intelligently when leading or trailing.
Ritchie has defintiely exceeded expectations so far as well.
The Bennett Ryan Leivo trio is an interesting one. It's 3 guys who would be playing top 9 roles on a lot of teams, so hopefully this is the right recipe for a team that most of us believed would have a depth advantage this season.
