Uber-talented forward joins Wild

RWMinnesota Wild Juniors

June 29, 2024

Ritchie was the 45th overall pick by the Wild in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

ANALYSIS
NHL clubs should be prioritizing skill at this stage of the draft, and Ritchie brings plenty of that to the table. His draft stock suffered because he missed a good chunk of the year due to injury and played for a mediocre Prince Albert (WHL) team. Ultimately, Ritchie needs to learn to trust his teammates a bit more and give his best on a more consistent basis. Still, it's rare to find a prospect with this type of individual skill at this point of the draft, so it's a worthwhile gamble for the Wild.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Switching WHL clubs

RWMinnesota Wild Juniors

August 26, 2024

Ritchie was traded to WHL Medicine Hat from Prince Albert on Monday.

ANALYSIS
Ritchie was selected by the Wild with the 45th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft after racking up 44 points in 47 games for Prince Albert last season. Considering the Tigers gave up a prospect and two third-round picks for Ritchie, expectations will be high this upcoming campaign. While Ritchie will likely participate in Minnesota's training camp this fall, he almost certainly will return to juniors this year to continue developing his game. As such, Ritchie doesn't offer much fantasy value in redraft formats but should be in the mix for a stash spot in dynasty formats.
