I could definitely see Ritchie brought back, but the importance of whether he plays in the top 6 or not will really depend on what else happens with the team. If you're looking at a team where one or more of Johnny, Monahan, Chucky are traded and an honest rebuild is on, then I don't think the next few years really matter. It's like worrying about top line LW Curtis Glencross when the team was drafting 4th overall.
I don't see it happening either, so I guess on that front we're in the same boat. But I think it'll be because Treliving is going to go into next year with a very similar roster and will try to sell the narrative of the team underachieving and they deserve a full season together. It won't pan out and we'll be right back here next summer with pennies on the dollar for our core.
