ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — A few hours after the Anaheim Ducks added Ryan Kesler to their roster, first-round pick Nick Ritchie said he plans to join that group in the fall as well.
The Ducks chose Ritchie with the 10th pick of the NHL draft Friday night, adding the physical left wing from the Toronto area to their already deep farm system.
The 6-foot-3 Ritchie is a prototypical power forward with a scoring touch and a mean streak — and he doesn't lack for confidence in his abilities.
"I think I'm going to try to have a big summer, come to training camp and make that team," Ritchie said.
