The fact that his insane numbers are a bi-product of the OHL's leading scorer are not a concern to me. It shows what he can do with talent around him. He is not producing alone so he is unlikely to become a top scorer in the future but I don't think anyone had hopes of that anyway. Better for him to have 38 points in 24 games than not. His size is more of a concern to me because big forwards tend to take longer to develop.

You can never be sure about a prospect outside of the obvious ones but in Ritchie's case he is certainly good enough to be on a farm team in a keeper league.
