If he had scored 8 goals like he basically had by this number of games last season it would be a different conversation for sure. His last 3 seasons his shooting percentage was 12.5, 11.4 and 12.4. This year he is at 2.3%.
My biggest concern is that he seems lost out there. He has started to back check but many times doesn't seem to remember what his role is and who he is designated to cover. It's almost sad to me.
I thought he would be taking REALLY bad minor penalties but Keefe has that under control it seems after a few selfish ones at the worst times in the game. Tom Wilson @ $5.2 MIL has 9 goals and 88 hits with 54 PIMS consisting of a lot of 2 minute minors.
If Ritchie could figure out his game here on the Leafs he could be an asset. His assets were his soft hands scoring goals and when he fights he punches to hurt people unlike some where they are a couple of buddies in a bar fight. His weakness though are all currently on full display which is too bad.
