I thought Gawdin looked fine in his brief stint.

I agree especially when dealing with very small sample sizes. They could often be misleading. That’s why I mentioned they showed Ritchie wasn’t bad in the 2 games and not that he’s better than Johnny at generating chances. It’s all about perspective I guess.
As for Gawdin vs. Ritchie, I would’ve preferred to keep Gawdin in the line-up, but he is more likely to be used as the 13th forward. That’s why top line ice time in the AHL might be better for him. PS: hope he doesn’t get claimed.
