I've said before ... Monahan and Gaudreau don't really need a perfect compliment in a right wing, but a player that would help them get out of their own end more often and let them go to work.
Tiny sample size but Ritchie has the team's best CA60 for forwards this season.

Ritchie is the closest thing he’s got to a Sean Donovan type. Frankly, if it wasn’t for foot speed, I’d throw Lucic up there and see what happens. You know he can win a puck battle and make a decent short pass.
I expect Bennett to have a bit of a surge - the new coach may energize and motivate him. The test will be if he starts to backslide, especially on defence, and how he reacts when Sutter addresses it.
