Confirmed with Link: Danton Heinen Traded For Nick Ritchie

[PatriceBergeronFan]

not the same production

No?

30 point to 40 point player.

 

[ruhzy]

Hopefully he hits like he fights. Guy is tough as nails.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Same production as Heinen but adds size and physicality in exchange for stick position. Perfection!

Cheaper as well.

 

[wintersej]

We got the right brother for once!

An upgrade on Kuhlman in the top 9 and a million bucks less in salary.

A positive move like the Kase move. Not "the answer" we have been looking for, but the Bruins are clearly better in the middle 6 than a week ago.

Still hoping for one more move...

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I love this trade. This is a trade for a long playoff run.

Heinen had enough of a chance to shine and didn’t stand out as bringing anything different or better to the table than numerous other players.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Almost 800 hits in last almost 300 games? Niiiiiice

 

[Dupell6]

I hate this trade and I hate how everyone from Boston takes Heinan for granted.

This trade probably helps Heinan though. Needed a fresh start and some confidence

 

[LSCII]

Same production as Heinen but adds size and physicality in exchange for stick position. Perfection!

Saying he's got the same production as Heinen is like saying you're the tallest short guy.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Thats the best we could do?

 

[JOKER 192]

Love this trade

 

[Fopppa]

Don’t like it. Not particularly fond of Danton, but I don’t think this is a step forward at all.

 

[UncleRico]

Same production as Heinen but adds size and physicality in exchange for stick position. Perfection!

same production? Heinen has 6 less points in 67 less career games. You can’t be serious

 

[Emerz]

Heinen has been invisible at best this season, when he isn’t whiffing on freebie empty netters.

At least Ritchie will presumably be a psychical presence while chipping in some points.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Almost 800 hits in last almost 300 games? Niiiiiice

 

[Fenian24]

You are right Ritchie has better production than Heinen.

 

[Over the volcano]

Good deal for both teams - here’s hoping Ritchie becomes what he hasn’t yet.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

same production? Heinen has 6 less points in 67 less career games. You can’t be serious

For this season, 19 points in 41 games (0.46 PPG) 22 points in 58 games (0.38 PPG)

He's actually outproducing him this season.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I love it

 

[Fenian24]

Not sure where he plays

LW depth
Marchand
DeBrusk
Bjork
Nordstrom
Ritchie

Bjork is playing RW so Ritchie is your third line LW.

 

[NeelyPunishes]

I hate this trade and I hate how everyone from Boston takes Heinan for granted.

This trade probably helps Heinan though. Needed a fresh start and some confidence

I only took for granted that if you strapped 3 dozen eggs to his uniform, not one would have so much as a micro-crack at the end of the game. He devolved into an AHL tweener at best.

Saying he's got the same production as Heinen is like saying you're the tallest short guy.

this season

Heinen's 82 game pace : 31 points, 10 goals
Ritchie's 82 game pace: 38 points, 16 goals

 

[UncleRico]

Bruins gave up the better offensive and defensive forward for someone more physical. Good lord.

 

[The Duck Knight]

You guys will like Nick. He's got some issues with consistency and taking bad penalties, but he can be a load down low and around the net. Also has great chemistry with Kase.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Sure, why not. Hope Sweeney isn't done because this feels more like clearing cap than loading up

 

[Salem13]

Hey we got the right Ritchie!
