I'd agree on the 81 minutes we've seen from Ritchie this year.
But based on last year's larger sample size I think he's considerably worse defensively than Pitlick. He was a boat anchor for almost any line he skated on.
He's better offensively, but even that is pretty minor.
With Pitlick you get a good direct aggressive game, but he hurts who ever he plays with offensively.
Guessing this is the type of argument you see in most team's bottom six (bottom four)
