Is it because he's fallen down the depth chart, out of the top 6? Or because Suter wants balance?
Hopefully when Richardson gets healthy they bump Mony to wing with Dube and Mangiapane with Richardson at 4C. I can’t watch Ritchie do largely nothing anymore.
It's not that Ritchie is ineffective. He's just ineffective as a top 9 forward. Pretty much everyone would be happy with his play (and perhaps even ecstatic with it) if he were playing the fourth line.I don't think Ritchie's been nearly as ineffective as some around here seem to think
The team is clicking like this, and getting Monahan his points isn't a higher priority than winning.
He is the new Bennett, would much rather move him to wing and bump Ritchie down out of top 6.
My problem is he has always been a streaky guy but playing on the 4th isn't going to help him get going.He will get going. Health really is his biggest thing.
5 games in, 0 points, -4 and only 6 shots.
I think it will. He is learning how to grunt it out while he gets his legs back. His scoring will return because that's something that's God given.My problem is he has always been a streaky guy but playing on the 4th isn't going to help him get going.
Why has Monahan fallen down the depth chart? Is it because he's fallen down the depth chart?Is it because he's fallen down the depth chart, out of the top 6? Or because Suter wants balance?
Has anyone honestly even watched him play this year?

I also wonder if he was injured to a degree by that from behind hit from Sack Kaasian in the first game.
Didn't you dismiss this exact argument when it was Sam Bennett who was buried with terrible linemates?That's what happens when you play with 34-36 year old grinders.
Has anyone honestly even watched him play this year? He has had dangerous chances the past 3 games and would easily have 3 more points if his line mates weren't bums. He is making a lot of good and dangerous passes in the offensive zone and is getting his shot off on his own.
