But time will tell on that.
I do think it’s clear that the first line experiment will end.

Ritchie is suffering a bit from the Alex Chiasson syndrome. Chiasson was not a bad player and when used down the lineup could be effective. But with the team lacking natural RW's with size Ritchie is clearly out of place on that line. You might get away with it for a game or two, but the longer you go with it the more apparentl it becomes that it's not a good fit. Similar thing when they tried Bennett up there, the longer it went the worse it was. Ritchie as a 12-13 forward I think is okay...no business being higher in the lineup.
I do tend to think that the team needs to find a way to move on from at least one of Monahan and or Gaudreau if not both. Unless there is another Lindholm that you can bring in to play wing with these two, not much else seems to work.
