Rapports de dépistage de Calum Ritchie

Skating on the top line in Oshawa and being deployed in all situations.
Skating has improved. More sustained speed up and down the ice.
Off the rush, especially with his size and strength, he is difficult to defend once he gains entry into the offensive zone and finds a lane to create plays to the net.
Works off the cycle. Plays the middle bumper / net front on PP#1.
Excellent release. Pucks are on and off his stick quickly. Play making has gone to another level. Not just a shooter.
Providing consistent compete and reliable 200ft detail. Potential NHL 2F.

Big body - potential power forward who leans goal scorer more than playmaker
Threat to produce on the power-play. Net front he can be a load to handle for defenders.
Room for more pace and drive overall.
Cerebral player who leaves me wanting more BUT also produces more than his share of offense at the OHL level.
Will need to play consistently quicker/faster/ more engaged for element to impact NHL game.

A perplexing prospect who is an average plus skater - good size - great hands
Has a ton to offer offensively - but picks his spots at times
His ability to find 'quiet ice' and anticipate where the play is developing speaks to his hockey IQ
The kind of player who goes about his business without a ton of fanfare - then sneaks up and scores - or creates - offense at the most important time of the game
