The 27-year-old has experience on both wings and can provide some secondary scoring pop, although there’s no obvious opening among the top-nine cast.
“He’s a big body, has some skill,” Treliving said of Calgary’s newest Ritchie, listed at 6-foot-3 and 236 lb. “His play, there’s been some inconsistency to it.

The 28-year-old Stecher has logged 61 appearances with the Coyotes in 2022-23, collecting seven points — all assists — and averaging 17 minutes per night. The 5-foot-10, 184-lb. right-hander is a quality puck-mover and an experienced penalty-killer. “I might have to sift through that lease and see if he broke any rules so I can kick him out,” he quipped.
