Fred65 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Many AHL teams need income from ticket sales to survive. I read some place a lot of AHL players are scrambling to find homes in Europe. Where Rathbone fits who knows. I believe he has to declare 48 hours after the new CBA is signed. Heck NHL owners are going to have a bad time holding their teams together. As one owner mentioned many owners are being hit in their primary business never mind their play thing, AHL/NHL The word I keep hearing is the NHL resumes in January 2021. Think of the arenas that are club owned. Man this is a compounding problem which ever way you look at it. Maybe they should Furlough Bettman for starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Sounds like the window opens next week? That's what it sounded like from listening to TSN1040 earlier. So we should find out rather soon. My gut says he signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck the NHL looks like it won't open until maybe January 2021. He's just turned 21 Dhaliwal on TSN said a lot of hockey people say he's NHL ready now and could be on the roster next season. Watching some of his highlights, I see a lot of Quinn Hughes, only with a little more bite ( he is willing to be physical ). Could scouts have misread a lot of what this guy has to offer? He could, very possibly be a second theft of the 2017 draft, far outshining his 4th round selection. If he becomes any where near what Mr. Hughes is, our defense just got a whole lot deeper. The kid's got serious skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was setting the Giants on fire, people in this forum were pegging him 1st pairing, PP1 whatever. He's turned out as a serviceable D-man but never achieved those heights. In 2 years maybe but I'd rather put chips on Woo or Juolevi, being on the lineup first before Rathbone. I think Juolevi makes it next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Juolevi makes it next season Connauton was always thought of as a defensive liability even when he did his year with the Giants, as I recall. But I agree many had him pegged as a quality prospect. I was surprised that he could never grasp his defensive problems and correct them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should find out rather soon. My gut says he signs. There's a 53-hour window that opens tomorrow where teams are allowed to get new ELC players under contract for this season. There won't be a signing bonus and no salary payment. It burns a year of their ELC and gets them in the fold. They will be allowed to participate in phase 3 and 4 and be part of the bubble but won't be allowed to get into games. It's a one-off for this season. Next season new ELC signings will be allowed to play like they have in the past - Makar, Boeser, Hughes etc. The Canucks have to also want to sign him during that window. They might not want to burn a year of his ELC as he can't play this season. It brings him to his 2nd contract a year earlier.

qwijibo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 4 minutes ago, Vanuckles said: What makes you say that? He grew up a Boston fan. He’s from that area. There are articles going back as far as last year discussing the fact t that he’s well aware that he can go UFA as soon as next year. And his quotes from this March where he says it’s his dream to be an NHL player but he won’t rush the decision “The Canucks have expressed interest (in having me turn pro) and that’s something I’m really excited about because it means I’m taking the right steps. But honestly, with everything going and how chaotic things are, and school stopping and hockey coming to an abrupt end like it has, my family and I just didn’t feel this is the right time to make that decision. It just didn’t feel right. We’re going to make that decision later on.” I could definitely be wrong. All of that could mean nothing. But it doesn’t seem like he’s in a huge rush to be a Canuck, and he can continue his education and sign anywhere he wants next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes extremely close to his younger brother who is special needs.. calls him his hero and best friend.. He decided not to go the USHL route so he can be close to his brother who was 8 years old at the time. His parents house is approx half hour drive to Bruins practice facility and approx half hour from TD Garden where the Bruins play.. He grew up a huge Bruins fan. Why would he go as far away as possible and to a foreign country when he can live at home be close to his younger brother and play for his favourite team... Makes too much sense for him to wait a year go ufa and sign with Bruins.. His former NCAA line mate on the 1st pairing Adam Fox forced a trade from the flames. Then from Canes and ended up NYR where he always wanted to be.. Maybe after the playoffs if it becomes apparent he's not signing this year JB can get a pick for him from the Bruins..
