Mikko Myllykoski, the sports director of the Karpat in the SM-Liiga, explained the decision by saying Ritchie failed to rise to what was expected from him. <q>Kärpät cannot offer Ritchie a big enough role in the team for the rest of the season, so he is free to look for a place to play elsewhere. When he came up, we knew he was a high risk/high reward style card that we thought was worth a look. However, he was not able to rise to the role that we would have needed him to play.</q> Ritchie joined the Karpat this season after spending the last eight years in the NHL. He played 481 games for the Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Arizona Coyotes and Calgary Flames. During that time he tallied 84 goals, 102 assists, 483 penalty minutes and a -7 goal differential. More to come. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/367383.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div>
