RYDER RITCHIE Scouting Report | High-Skill Complimentary Winger!

RYDER RITCHIE Scouting Report | High-Skill Complimentary Winger!

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Sebastian High, Hadi Kalakeche June 11, 2024 Duration: 29:53

In this episode of the Prospect Spotlight series, our scouts take a half-hour deep dive into the game of a winger with high-end puck skills and could become a top-six complimentary contributor: Ryder Ritchie! First, they introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, they shift their attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit, discussing why he is falling down rankings, including their own. Last, they debate Ritchie's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.

 

Tune back tomorrow for a scouting report on a big, mobile, and physical RD: Charlie Elick!
