Loved Ritchie and his play. Now his neysayers will be out in FULL FORCE.

Ritchie brothers reunited, Kase and Ritchie also reunited.
I really like this, though. I really like Heinen.

Fire Newell Brown yesteryear!
Somebody take away the phone from Bob, he's clearly drunk.

Dirk is going to have an absolute field day with this one.
And he's right. I'm not big on this move at all. I question what Murray is thinking here big time

Team is awful. Team is awful because forwards are awful. Fan base is weirdly resistant to trading any of the forwards

Trade for the sake of trade. Ritchie was putting it together, what's the point of this?

Yeah I don't like this. Ritchie has some standout qualities, Heinen just seems like a vanilla middle sixer.

He makes almost twice what Ritchie does for similar production. He’s a center, is this the new Grant?
Someone who knows him explain the trade?

There's a chance Heinen was buried behind a bunch of great players in Boston and never got the chance to breakout like he can on a team with less talent like the Ducks. There's also a chance he's just an ordinary middle 6 player. We'll have to wait and see, but it seems like a lateral move at best

Not a fan. Heinen is meh and I really thought Nick was just starting to put it together.

Henry, you're our only hope!
He's not a center. He's a two way wing that doesn't really excel at anything. He's mainly been at LW on Boston's 3rd line. His big production a couple years ago IIRC came when he filled in their top 6 due to injuries.
Anyways, not surprised. I figured BM has been looking to move Ritchie for a while. I don't necessarily like it though.
Ritchie was great since his injury and developed great chemistry with Terry. This reeks of a behind the scenes resentment from Bob.

RIP to the countless hours of watching Ritchie dominate in Peterborough, SSM, and San Diego. The second call-up to Anaheim really stunted his development; Ritchie never took the next step.
Heinen is more of a cookie-cutter type of player. It pains me to say this considering the upside I once saw in Ritchie, but Anaheim wins this trade. The combo of Heinen and Comtois will replace (next year) anything we lost in Ritchie.

Heinen is slightly more skilled but not physical. Similar level offensively but better defense without the stupid penalty every game. Also shows Bob trying to shake things up
