They both bring their own risks, so I'm not upset but no doubt they could end up biting us in the ass.
Former Bruins Nick Ritchie III

With the Leafs picking up the B's curbside trash, they just got easier to play against.

Toronto signing him and Kase is hilarious. Also, glad Boston didn’t sign Ritchie to a 2.5M deal.

For guys that hardly watch Boston (Leafs board) they're really going to be in for a surprise when they realize Ritchie isn't Wendel Clark.
Do they not realize that we didn't qualify him even though we had $20M to work with?

Apparently...he's 75% of what Hyman was!!
They've said that every summer since I've been on these forums. I will only get concerned about the Leafs when they start talking about being a lottery team
Our boards a polar opposites. Here we are a lottery team and there they're cup champs.They've said that every summer since I've been on these forums. I will only get concerned about the Leafs when they start talking about being a lottery team

Now now, stop that rubbish talk
. Do not go the dark side. I've been saddened to see some slip into that abyss. We still have a good team. Maybe not a great one, but a good one. Better than goddam Leafs, that's for sure.

Not even 60%. Ritchie is like 25% of what Hyman is.

The takes I'm seeing are amazing. They sound exactly like us in February 2020 lmao.
Best of luck to Big Nick, just not against us! Somehow I'm not too concerned

Dont worry. If Ritchie tries any funny business. He will need to answer to Freddy

He was effective because of PP...but very invisible 5 on 5.
My biggest concern...wasn't engaged enough. He had the tools to be better...I thought he would be our Knuble

I was thrilled when we got Ritchie, mainly because we got rid of Heinen who I couldn't stand. But when you watch him over a period of time it's obvious that he has no great love or passion for the game of hockey. The things he should be doing on a regular basis like using his body to deliver hits or to defend his teammates he rarely does and without him using that big body for physicality he is a liability on the ice with his lack of speed or quickness. I wouldn't be suprised if the 2 year contract he got from the Leafs is his last NHL contract.

Says more about the state of the bottom six than it does about Ritchie.
I like the guy but it became painfully clear the last two playoffs that he's not a player who should be getting top 9 minutes on a contending team. He's productive against mediocre teams but wilts against contenders when the pace picks up, same as a lot our guys unfortunately. 19 out of his 26 points last year came against non-playoff teams. Maybe it works out better for him in Toronto.

I heard that Heinen’s contract included some “subtle” money that is extremely valuable but most people aren’t sophisticated enough to see and appreciate it, but makes it worth significantly more than the numerical value.
Now now, stop that rubbish talk
Im down . But you know what? I got through Bobby Orr packing his bags and leaving. Wasnt easy. But time moves on. Rosters change. Usually an addition or kid catches my eye and here I stay.
