He can't find a trade partner.

I feel like this season has a lot of GMs trying to make moves pretty early on

Get tougher by getting Nick Ritchie?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Get tougher by getting Nick Ritchie?

1) Acquire Nick Ritchie.
2) Rack up more penalties against.
3) PK more.
4) Block more shots.
5) Callouses develop.
6) Tougher.

Makes sense to me....why would they only misspell it once and spell it right the other place?

 

[Stealth JD]

Blues have enough terrible players...why add another?

Arizona turning Ritchie and Gostisbehere into positive value would be awesome for them. Smart asset management

BA has a 2nd round pick trading "habit", so maybe:

Ritchie + AZ '24 5th
for
Brown + STL '24 2nd

It’s been a weird start to the season with teams like Tampa and Florida struggling for a playoff while the Red Wings abs Devils dominate.

I don’t think Ritchie is the answer for the Blues. His game outside of his “grit” is overrated.

Whatever his grit is, I never saw it in Toronto.

Guy is slow AF and while he is a large body on the ice he rarely ever uses it against the other team

 

[HockeyVirus]

I don't watch as many blues games as I want to, but do they run a puck possession / quick movement system? Because he absolutely sucks in that type of environment.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Hope they don’t think Ritchie is the solution to their problems

 

[Rabid Ranger]

That'll right the ship!

 

[Rich Nixon]

why would they want Nhick R'hitchee

An NHL GM is going to overpay for a guy shooting nearly 40% and we're all going to pretend to be surprised.

 

[DaaaaB's]

Haha Imagine thinking Nic Ritchie is going to solve your teams problems or help in any way at all.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Nick is in shape for probably the first time in his career, but I have some advice for Armstrong: Do not do it or you will develop something I call NRRD. Nick Ritchie Rage Disorder. (I still suffer flashbacks.)

 

[KaosKommando]

I think Boston and Toronto fans were glad he was gone?
