I see a lot of peeps in this thread supporting Richie as a 4th liner.
Cool, but we already have 4 4th liners with contracts today: Dube-Lucic-Rooney-Lewis
And we have a host of prospects looking to push into the big club.
We're already giving a PTO to Eakins, too. IMO Eakins is much better than Ritchie and fills the same role. So where does Ritchie go? It's a waste of cap space and a contract spot to give this guy a contract outright at this time.
