If the Canucks took Ritchie at 6 and traded for 10 as well i'd look at:
- Nylander
- Virtanen
- Fabbri
and maybe Barbashev.
In 5 years, Barbshev between Ritchie and Kassain would be a very hard line to play against. Ivan plays the 200 foot game while bring the speed and skill. I know this isn't whats meant as emulating the Boston model it would be in the same fashion of the Luicic - Krejci - Hornton/Iginla. I somewhat have my doubts that Nylander would be there at 10 if he were he'd give that line another level of skill and would have lots of room to work with two hulking wingers.
