    Reinbacher who was taken 5th overall in the same draft being listed at 33 is crazy

    Just hope he has a healthy career. Injuries early on hurt his rating but seems he has the talent and the mindset. Just want him to enjoy his career on his terms.

    I really hope they keep him and not use him as trade bait.

    > “Elite hockey sense,” said Button of Ritchie. “High-end skill and flexibility in his game. He can make plays; he can score goals. He can use his size to gain advantages. He can play a quick and fast game.”

    Holy shit they actually struck gold with a late first?

  6. Delerium89

    When realistically could we expect to see him pop into the Avs lineup? Next season? Longer?

    If he develops anywhere near what his potential appears to be, how huge this pick is for the Avs CANNOT be understated. A cost-controlled legit eventual 2C is literally exactly what this team needs.

    excited, but nervous for the kid…Avs FO/bednar don’t have a great track record of developing young forwards, they just have no patience for them sadly (and fairly too, we are in win now mode), they get bounced around the 3rd and 4th lines expecting them to do things and be types of player that they aren’t use to and you have to be willing to deal with growing pains of young players

    Great scouting. I hope we keep him past the trade deadline. Is he more of a RW or C?
