News: Nick Ritchie not qualified

[PromisedLand]

Can they please do the same with Kase. At least Ritchie can play

they did. boston didnt extend QO to kase either

 

[Scruffy]

Laziest player I’ve ever seen. I want to like him, but he makes it very easy not to.

One of the most frustrating players to watch ever. When engaged, he can be a force. Problem is, that's maybe 1% of the time. The other 99% he loafs around and just collects a paycheck.

 

[Love]

Early prediction.

Vancouver.

I could see it too but idk if we’ll have the space. Also getting a RHD and re-signing our core players should be a much higher priority than Ritchie.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

He was good in spurts last year but far too lazy of a player. Hoping this means something big is brewing for the Bruins.

Did he fill up on Boston Creme Donuts ? At times he looked like he filled up on Donuts when he was in Anaheim.

 

[Duck Off]

Seattle bound imo

It’s quite possible.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Dont want to play his role big tough guy, too lazy and brutal during playoffs, need to be in shape, need to loose 25 lbs of fat and gain some muscle but clearly too lazy great move Don!

 

[Mrfenn92]

How was he for Boston this year?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

It’s quite possible.

The look on Ritchies face in various photos gives off the impression that he's dumb as heck.
He had one of the lowest hockey IQs to ever play for the Ducks.

 

[Rob Brown]

That’s because they use Leafs as click bait. You took the bait and are now discussing it. Me responding to you is the same thing. It’s a vicious cycle. Lol.

Everyone hates all the Toronto talk but then spends so much time and energy talking about Toronto. Then they wonder why Toronto always comes up.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Leafs going with a 50 man roster???? LOL

If you listen the speculation in the media,they are linked to everyone. They also don't have to worry about the salary cap. On the board, Leaf fans know better, but a lot of non Leaf fans - not so much.

 

[TheHudlinator]

No qualifying offer for Heinen. Guess the trade didn’t work out for either team.

The magical lose lose trade

How was he for Boston this year?

When he's fully engaged he's alright but that's rare. Floats around most of the time, mediocre skills at best. Numbers inflated because he stood in front of the net on a great PP. Generally a waste of size because he's rarely mean or interested in hitting. Terrible puck possession player. Does a good job of driving the net and banging in rebounds.

TBH, I'd rather have Heinen back. He's stronger on the puck and better defensively. Much more suited to the 3rd line.

The funny thing is there are ducks fans who want ritchie back.

What a world where the possibility of a lose/lose trade happens and then both teams offer on the player they traded

Flyers say hello

Didn't Anaheim get a 1st rounder too?

 

[The Laukomotive]

Didn't Anaheim get a 1st rounder too?

That was the Backes trade.

 

[Duck Off]

Didn't Anaheim get a 1st rounder too?

that was the kase trade with Backes

edit: sorry, didn’t realize someone answered it already

 

[terranraida]

Didn't Anaheim get a 1st rounder too?

That wa for the Backes trade. The Heinon/Ritchie trade was straight up

 

[Gurglesons]

Didn't Anaheim get a 1st rounder too?

that was the Kase trade, bro.

 

[Knies iT]

Dubas had him in the Soo I believe. Small town Orangeville kid from just outside the GTA.

Could see him being a prime target for TOR if he comes in under or around 3m. Ritchie, Simmonds and potentially Foligno would be a mean group to go up against in the Atlantic.

The funny thing is, it could turn back into a win-win if each team got their old guy back for less than the qualifying offer

 

[exporta]

Oh I get it and Ritchie makes a ton of sense. It's just that the Leafs are already getting 30 other players according to the insiders.

They are? I havent seen the Leafs linked to anyone, by anyone of consequence.

Leafs aren't expected to make any big splashes, and are budget shopping this off season.

They need 2 forwards, a d and a goalie with about 9.5 million to spend.

Any respectable "insider" is well aware, and has reported such. It appears you're beating a deadhorse with that stereotype.

 

[Scott Bee]

Well you still have to play teams like Washington and you already lost Miller and Lauson so almost no toughness left.
