With the 10th overall pick at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the Anaheim Ducks selected Peterborough Petes forward Nick Ritchie.

Ritchie looked like a men among boys in his draft year. He already has the size of an NHL power forward as well as NHL-caliber speed and he proved he knows how to use both on numerous occasions over the course of the season.

Concerns about Ritchie's consistency knocked him out of the conversation for top pick, but it's hard not to find his combination of size, skill and explosiveness enticing. Ritchie is the younger brother of Dallas Stars 2011 second-round pick Brett Ritchie, who looks like a quality prospect after a strong debut season in the AHL.

Ritchie carried an fairly weak Peterborough Petes team over the favored Kingston Frontenacs in the first round of the OHL playoffs, capping a strong second half to what could be his final junior season. He is the most NHL-ready draft-eligible forward and any team looking to add size on the wing should be excited about his potential.
