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

[John Mandalorian]

I will say this.

If we believe the Avs development will f*** up Ritchie or if we don’t believe he will really become a legit top 6 forward, his value will absolutely be at the highest heading into this trade deadline.

He’s the 1C for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship. Every team will be seeing him likely dominate.

Good point. Just keep him away from Loveland. That place is the kiss of death for forward prospects. If he can’t realistically make it to the Avs without going to Loveland first, they should really consider using his elevated value.
