It’s been FOUR GAMES CALM DOWN

Just plain awful. I too expect more from a guy 4 games in playing with two different centres on a new team.

It’s been his whole career

Thanks, I’m not the only one

He just doesn't fit the top line. Matthews & Marner need someone fast who can get to the loose pucks first to create space for them. Ritchie can't skate.

if they put him in the right roll he'd be doing a lot better

Maybe a guy like Hyman. Oh wait they can’t afford gim. Just deal with it. Marner and Matthews can carry there own line. It isn’t a huge deal

4 games in. 4 games calm down

Exactly

Ritchie has been fine, net front presence and is doing his job of getting the puck to Tavares, Marner, and Matthews.

Only really been one game where he played with his planned line mates in AM and MM. Will take time for chemistry to be formed between the trio

Reality is AM and MM will be feeding off each other. Ritchies only job get in front of the net and get the puck to either of the Dynamic duo. He does that the goals and assists will come on mass. Hyman was able to figure it out so only a matter of time till Ritchie does the same

too early, but that offer is not enough
