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

[TruePowerSlave]

Question I always ask myself, would we have been OK giving this guy up + additional for Askarov?

Yes

Could always backfire of course. However, I think Askarov will be great.

 

[PAZ]

Nope.


Askarov does nothing for us today. We need goaltending right now, not in 2-3 years from now.

Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if Askarov outperforms any goalie (Blackwood, Gibson, Merzlikins) available on the market starting this year. He's been lights out in the AHL and has looked great in his 2 NHL starts.

And what does Ritchie do us now?

But we aren’t giving up assets to add Ritchie to the team.

Personally I think I would if the + was small. As others have said though I think the price for the Ava would have been higher.

Might be because English isn't my first language but I don't understand you.

Adding Ritchie to the team doesn't cost assets. Having Ritchie is having an asset (one asset.)

Trading Ritchie for Askarov is an asset for asset. Therefor we would add an asset to the team by adding Askarov to the team. Asset for asset (if value is equal) means 1=1. We lose an asset, we gain an asset.

So if we could had traded Ritchie for Askarov without adding anything substancial, wouldn't the situation be the same. It's just shifting from having a forward prospect to having a goalie prospect.

Well the post was saying would you give up Ritchie+ for Askarov. Hence the giving extra assets for a guy who also wouldn’t fill an immediate hole.

First women to make it to the NHL in a regular season game. We should be proud of the Avs EDI policy.

Is that Newhook in the middle?

 

[Tralfamadore]

Ritchie very noticeable in the pre lim game against Sweden. Don't think he picked up a point on the tying goal but worked very hard and took a beating on the play.

Doesn't look super skilled but works hard and plays a pro game.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Ritchie gets the go ahead goal after a lucky tip off a swede defender in Mack's office up near the blue line. Won a big faceoff in the offensive zone to start the shift. Good work on the cycle leading up to the goal.

Also picked up an assist shortly after with a faceoff win.

 

[darthwispy]

He ended up with 2 assists and a goal

Hmmm, a lot of faceoff wins. Better trade him, doesn't fit the team at all.

That is some incredible vision and silky, silky smooth hands.

I keep trying to temper my expectations of/for Calum, but he keeps doing stuff like this. I'm beginning to seriously hope he isn't used as fodder for this deadline.

No-look passes fits right in though. Just needs to work on making sure there are no teammates there to receive.
