He's a checker with limited offensive upside. I'm sure he's fine in the same way Garnet Hathaway, Tobias Reider, or Paul Byron were fine for us in the past, albeit probably with less speed. But he should probably be your 4th best RW, not your second best RW.
Likewise, Lewis looked fine yesterday, and that line's great shift led to the Lindholm goal. But Lewis should be your 4th best RW.
And Ritchie is a possession blackhole when played up the lineup. He should be your fourth best RW.
