I'm interested in seeing the contract that Nick Ritchie eventually signs, because Foligno is essentially his replacement...NFW is he a top-6 Forward on a legit contender any longer...And who are our middle-6 RWs besides Craig Smith?
In a more perfect world, Smith would be our 3rd-line RW with Charlie Coyle & Foligno; Pasternak would be paired with his countryman Krejci & Taylor Hall; and Alex DeBrincat would've been alongside Marchand & Bergeron...
And how does the Foligno signing impact Jake the Fake DeBust? Is it he who will be the 3rd-line RW? I'm not sure exactly how well that experiment went last season; healthy scratches during the POs don't appear to portend good things there in the future...
