Button is a disaster and deserves only ridicule before being ignored.
But ton's job is to sell advertising. The status quo does not do that so he makes stuff up just to be different. There's a reason he no longer has an NHL job.

Mic drop!
I'm all for backing your horse and taking a shot at an outlier but that list is nutty!
Comes down to this: if I'm counting on my young guns to step in and replace my aging stars or even to begin a whole new run (rebuild)- everyone on that list pretty well is a bonafide blue chip stud with as close to a "star" floor as you can get and real upside to become a gamebreaking asset at some point.
Ritchie is not... not yet anyways. I guess Button is saying he thinks he can get there- which is interesting but if the advice is to move any of those guys for Ritchie today I just feel like thats objectively bad advice.
Reminds me of that stock watch YouTuber who makes all his "buys" for the day and then rolls the dice on the last one just for kicks. I'll reiterate that I think the fact Button likes him so much is a worthwhile talking point- but if anyone's using that as a realistic guide for prospect valuations??? Good.luck to ya....

Craig "every day is a bad hair day" Button is taking a bit of a beating here (:
Good discussion. Bottom line, I think if you can afford to pick up Ritchie it could turn out to be a low risk high reward return. Or it is a complete bust, but again if your league allows and if it costs you little or nothing, why not.

I hear you on that. The NHL is the best league in the world and it’s so hard to predict what a kid (that’s really what these guys are still!) will do in it. I do believe Michkov is a safe bet to be a star if not super-star as I’ve been hearing about this kid for as long as I’ve been hearing about Bedard, but there’s always a chance he doesn’t come over or is a bust. Here’s to hoping!
