The thing with Ritchie is he knows his role and thats what he does.
Its a bonus he has good speed and great size, too bad his hands arent where the rest of his game is, but he isnt a liability defensively, he is a tough SOB who will drop em when team mates are in trouble, and best of all is a league min. salary hit.
If people dont like him playing further up the lineup than they like, that is not on him, thats on Darryl. Pretty hard to be disagreeing with much of anything Sutter has done this far however. That will change at some point because every team, every year, has rough patches where things go sideways for a bit. When that happens.... changes will happen.
Until that time though? Just enjoy the wins!
