Calum Ritchie has good size – (a) 6’2”, right-handed centerman with skill that our guys were really excited about. He played hurt for a chunk of the year, so I think that shows what kind of kid he is. Centermen are hard to get – as we all know – so we’re very excited that he was there at 27.

Mikhail Gulyayev is that electric, skating, puck-moving type D that is made for the game and especially the way we want to play. We were pleasantly surprised to see him there that late in the round.
