Do we really need to be bumping threads like this when we already have 1000 new threads on the boards including the actual Ritchie trade thread?
I guess in Boston's case, it could be possible that the two teams discussed Ritchie and Heinen (who I believe is rumored to be available). Though I will say from our perspective, although I like Heinen's upside as a playmaker, it seems as though he'd be another guy who plays a style lacking in urgency.
I appreciate that we finally traded him.
We’ve lost nothing. He’s didn’t bring anything that’s not replaceable. Jones and Comtois are big LWs just like Ritchie but are younger and don’t take stupid penaltiesgood for you. This team physicality dropped a bit now that hes gone.
Been saying this for a while. Both Jones and Comtois bring the same level of physicality and can skate infinitely times better.We’ve lost nothing. He’s didn’t bring anything that’s not replaceable. Jones and Comtois are big LWs just like Ritchie but are younger and don’t take stupid penalties
Both Jones and comtois can't fight for Jack shit. They won't be sticking up for anyone so there's a difference there.Been saying this for a while. Both Jones and Comtois bring the same level of physicality and can skate infinitely times better.
Jones takes a stupid offensive zone penalty every other game...We’ve lost nothing. He’s didn’t bring anything that’s not replaceable. Jones and Comtois are big LWs just like Ritchie but are younger and don’t take stupid penalties

Comtois can't fight for Jack shit he'd get his ass kicked against almost anyone on any NHL roster. Trust me on that.Comtois at least wants to fight, Jones doesn’t want anything to do with fighting at the NHL level. Then again, Ritchie hasn’t fought in two years.

He doesn't like doing it. You should watch some San Diego games. He can't fight for shit.That’s a pretty extreme take. Being 6’2 215 with a mean streak puts him ahead of at least half the leagues players in the modern soft NHL.
Not saying he is great at fighting, but he likes to do it and is big enough to be good at it. Hopefully he improves.

A lot of player are big and don't fight/can't fight
Ritchie would end his career.
I’m surprised how rarely Jones actually fights now he’s in the NHL. I thought that he was going to bring that element when he came up but I think he’s only had one fight his entire time in professional hockey.
He has 28 PIMs all year...how do you figure that?Jones takes a stupid offensive zone penalty every other game...
They’re big enough that they can hold their own. Also, we have Deslauriers for that.Both Jones and comtois can't fight for Jack shit. They won't be sticking up for anyone so there's a difference there.
