mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Good for Ritchie. I specifically like hearing about his physical growth, in case anyone was wondering. I like articles like this on our prospects, great job Robert! Now, will Benak go this route....and have a growth spurt? On a different front, are the Gophers behind in attracting the Canadian kids? I hear a lot about BC and BU, but don't really hear about the kids going to MN schools. We generally just talk about Wild stuff here, not college hockey. Maybe a few of the locals who keep up can fill us in? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredJohnson Verified Member Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 But does he weigh more than 200 lbs.? Is he over 6 feet tall?? If he’s not both of those, then he can’t ever play in the NHL. No one good is under those metrics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe not but 19 points in 8 games isn't too shabby. Maybe we end up with a new improved Zucc replacement. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Brotherbill Verified Member Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I just assumed since the Wild drafted him he was going to be 5' 9" or shorter. 6' 2" seems gigantic compared to the other prospects in the pool. I doubt he could beat out Ben Jones or Tyler Pitlick or name random journeyman that the Wild think plays better. Yes, I'm bitter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is however in first or second in points in the entire ohl last I checked, as an 18yr old. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
