The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing exceptional hockey despite getting nothing from Nick Ritchie this year.
When you look at the Toronto Maple Leafs roster right now, the biggest concern is which player will be playing beside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner every night. Nick Ritchie was supposed to be that impact player and potential replacement of Zach Hyman, but he still hasn’t scored a goal.
Meanwhile, Michael Bunting and Alex Kerfoot have been pleasant surprises in the top-six, but the team would be better suited with only one of them playing that role.
