yeah... no way in hell Murray gives him more than Kase. My guess is 3 years at 1.65. I have my frustrations with Murray but he's a damn wizard with RFA deals.
The word about the Ritchie situation was that the ducks wanted term. Cause Virtanen from the same draft class signed for 2 years at $1.25 per in the summer.

Ducks wanted a 3rd year for Ritchie which would cost more aav to get, but they wanted to lock him in and eat up 2 years of arbitration rights. So, I would expect Ritchie to land in the $1.6 average.

Figure the first 2 years are worth what Virtanen got so that would make the 3rd year worth (3@$1.6 = $4.8 less $2.5 so $2.3 million).

Lol, Murray must have started negotiations at the league minimum. Nice signing for ANA.

That is a great contract for the Ducks.

Looks like it was the Ducks holding out on Ritchie. Great team deal. Player, not so much

Why the **** did he hold out for that.

For Ritchie: Well why tf did he hild.out so long, for THAT

Because he wanted more. Just didn't end up getting any.

If there's any other 25 point big winger out there planning on making the big bucks on next RFA deal take a hint from Anderson and Ritchie - don't bother.

Wow I am surprised he caved and took that 3rd year. If he was holding out I would have thought he would have stood firm on 2 years.

Seems like someone fits in perfectly with leafs fans

All of your posts so far in this thread have talked about the Leafs. Why not focus on the guy your team just signed? Geez.

Also, now that the info is out, those are great numbers.
