Prospect Info: Avs draft F Calum Ritchie (2023 #27 overall)

[Richard88]

Maybe CMac wants to explore the trade market a bit more before signing Ritchie to a contract. If you're gonna trade a prospect it's a better look to do it before signing a contract than to sign him and trade him shortly theresfter. Leaving him unsigned also gives an acquiring team the freedom to structure the contract how they like.

Kinda odd that easily your best prospect is still without a contract

Or Kroenke is too cheap to pay the signing bonus.

Need that liquidity baby.

Makar was without a contract for nearly 2 years!

Jokes aside, a lot of worrying over nothing here. We don't know the demands of it all, but he's certain to be signed and the situation will take care of itself.

Horrible deal.

That look when you sign up for a timeshare and instantly regret it.

Now will CF be up long enough for us to get the details?

 

[Vaslof]

Overpaid and too much term

 

[Tralfamadore]

Huge if true

He kinda looks like a young Nathan MacKinnon in the picture.

Hopefully, Callum skates better than Segall runs.
