Cool, he’s better than Street and Gibbons.
I wonder how quickly he will be able to get into games after signing

I wouldn’t rule out a Ritchie-Getz-Rakell line, although Rakell usually plays left wing

EEK!
It would be nice to have both Comtois and Ritchie, two big guys out there laying the body.

Hopefully soon. This team is severely lacking a physical element right now

I still predict Jones will be up halfway through the season so it will be a much more enjoyable team to watch soon

Id like to see
Comtois getzlaf rakell
Ritchie henrique kase
Lundestrom kesler silf
Cogs rowney sheerwood
I just want to see Comtois with Getz. Ritchie as the other wing would make a pretty interesting beefed up 1st line.
I kind of want to see something similar, but Silf on LW with Henrique and Kase. Let him keep his offensive roll going (and they looked good in pre-season). Drop Ritchie with Kesler and Sherwood and Cogs with Rowney and Gibbons. Let Lundestrom develop as a C in Sweden rather than playing a defensive winger role in the NHL. Swap Cogs and Ritchie at the end of games when you need a bit more defense. Let Steel and Terry develop a little in the AHL (and get San Diego some damn reinforcements for once).

Awesome, hope he gets signed. I would take him over all but 4 of our wingers at the moment.

As much as some crap on Ritchie for not developing quickly enough, he would be a massive upgrade at wing on the 2nd or 3rd line. Hopefully Kase can come back in the next few weeks. Those 2 fit well together.

I may be wrong but I think they'd be more apt to use Rakell on RW again rather than move Comtois from his natural LW for now.
But something like Ritchie - Getzlaf - Rakell would be interesting and that Comtois - Henrique - Silf combo has worked well .

Honestly will be fun to see if coming in to play actually physically prepared
May do.
I know he takes some bad penalties, but a little off the reservation Ritchie could be very fun

He brings a different element the question is how true is this "best shape of his life" stuff and whether it improves his foot speed
haha here I am super happy we are finally about to sign the guy!
I never have hated him, I just never had too big hopes for him (part of that is that I was unhappy our management didn`t send him down when they should, to take on a bigger role in San Diego). But woo-hoo!! Happy

I hear he was clear to skate yesterday.
I hope he gets some time with Getzlaf to see if he has made any progress. If he cant get it going this year with Getzlaf then I'd just try to trade him.
Good luck Nickie Ritch!
