Prospect Info: 2024 Avs Development Camp Thread (July 3rd to 5th)

The best bet for Ritchie is to go to Suisse and play in the NLA as Matthews did. I just don't understand why more players don't consider this, is it ignorance? Suisse is one of the top 5 most beautiful places on earth with zero crime and the travel time between games is at an all-time minimum due to its size. It's like heaven.


I don't think we've even signed him yet.

Ritchie is contractually obligated to play in the CHL for four years (or unless he’s in the NHL). He does not have a choice, he signed a contract. Auston Matthews never signed in the CHL and the stars will likely never align again for a draft eligible player to have an early September birthday and nowhere to play in his draft year.

I’m not going to wish the AHL on anyone and certainly not early so he can learn how to play pro hockey like TJ Tynan. Ideally he’d play in the NHL, go to WJC and finish in Oshawa with another OHL championship run. I kinda hate the split seasons but in his case it would be ideal. But that takes a contract and org commitment so Ritchie’s best plan of action is to score as much as he possibly can in the OHL and WJC to hopefully get some urgency out of the org so he has an actual real shot in fall of 25 before starting his lifelong AHL career.

Ritchie wore two different colors in different sessions. He was in white with the small group, burgundy in the full group later. The skill, polish and talent was there. He wasn’t afraid to mess up and battle. He was doing what he needs to be at this point,

Why wouldn't you wish AHL to anyone? They're doing fine job there.

And here we go!

Because the AHL is a butcher’s league that fosters bad habits and the Avs traditionally don’t develop any players at the AHL level.

Somebody hurt @tigervixxxen, forgive her.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

So we know who to blame when he busts next year

What if he’s a genius and the Avs are just rolling in starting goalies thanks to him?

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Ritchie?

 

[BobRossColton]

Ritchie?

Rich?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

They have to grow up at some point if they want to play in the NHL. That means moving too.

Anyway, Swiss probably one of the best countries to live on earth.

And very expensive too.

What was Frankie teaching the goalies? How to properly fill out the Employee Report of Occupational Injury or Illness to Employer report?

Just kidding. It's actually really cool the Avs immediately asked him to join the org. Frankie's always seemed like a real stand up guy, just incredibly unlucky with his health.

 

[willy702]

Is he eligible for 9 games and then a slide back to the Generals?

Then we either clone him or put a ball and chain on him so he can never leave us.

With those hips of his you could probably just get away with having a slightly elevated step to get out of the building

That was literally my only tweet about on-ice stuff today. A simple observation. Guess you can’t win here.

It's your own fault for trying to promote yourself to a bunch of filthy casuals on Twitter.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

And very expensive too.

Hockey players make a lot in Switzerland. No problem living there.

How to sweep the fvcking oilers in a playoff series!

I love having Frankie around, he just legitimately seems to love being part of the Avs organization.

Probably telling him that he doesn't have to worry about ice time since he won't get any since Nate and Mikko will need 40 minutes a night

 

[dahrougem2]

"So look, do you enjoy blocking shots and chipping pucks deep? Our top six is set, so unless you want to play like an absolute plug I suggest getting real f***in comfy in Oshawa."

 

[Balthazar]

He said that he wants to make the team.

He’s going the chonky MacKinnon route

Thought this said he is going the choke Mackinnon route like he would choke slam Nate. I would respect that, Nate might too
